I have dissolved 20mm mole of vinyl pyridine and 20mm mole of vinyl imidazole in 50 ml of NMP solvent for polymerisation in stochiometric ratio 1:1.Now what is the mm mole of polymer formed in 50 ml NMP solution. is it 40 mm mole polymer or 20 mm mole polymer? since i Need to prepare 2 mm mole polymer for that how much volume should i take.Kindly help me to figure it out
Dear Arif Shahul Hameed, neither of your suggestions hold. It depends on the %conversion and the MW (and MWD) of the copolymer. This later is function of the reactivity ratio of both monomers relative to each other. This means that it is not very likely to have the same number of each monomer in one chain (macromolecule). So first get the % conversion, determine the MW and sequence distribution (NMR) of the monomers in each chain (in such circumstances, only mean/averages values are obtained). My Regards
