The use of IR-spectroscopy has been proposed to determine the content of hydroxy groups in the modified functional oligomers based on bisphenol A diglycidyl ether. Apart from hydroxy groups the investigated oligomers contain epoxy or peroxy, carboxy or acrylic groups.
The copolymerization reaction of peroxy derivatives of dioxydiphenylpropane diglycidyl ether monomethacrylate with styrene has been studied at 333 K in the medium of toluene using azo-bis-isobutyric acid dinitrile as an initiator at different molar ratio of the initial monomers. The reaction rates have been determined and copolymerization constants have been calculated. The structure of the synthesized copolymers was confirmed by chemical and IR-spectroscopic analyses
