New Crosslinked Bead-like Copolymers Based on N-p-carboxyphenyl-Maleimide

Abstract

Porous copolymers in bead form (0.1-1.0 mm in diameter) based on trimethylolpropane triacry-xlate and N- p-carboxyphenyl-maleimide were prepared by a suspension polymerization technique. The copolymers were characterized by IR spectroscopy and swelling behavior. Thermogravimetric analysis shows a good thermal stability, in dependence on the synthesis conditions. The ion exchange properties have also been discussed
