Synthesi̇s and characteri̇zati̇on of a new methacrylate polymers havi̇ng pendant methoxy substi̇tüed thi̇azol arylami̇de

In the first step of this study, 2-[(methoxy-1,3-benzothiazole-2-il)amino]-2-oxoethylmethacrylate (MBAOM) monomers were synthesized by the interaction 2-amino-6-methoxy benzothiazole of in the presence of sodium methacrylate in acetonitrile at 70-80°C via displacement reaction. homopolymer of MBAOM monomer was then synthesized in a glass bulb under nitrogen atmosphere with azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) initiator at a temperature of 65°C in a 1,4-dioxane solvent. Copolymers of glycidylmethacrylate (GMA) MBAOM monomers with AIBN initiator in the presence of 1,4-dioxane solvent at 65° C were synthesized. The structures of the monomers, homopolymers and copolymers were characterized by using IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR techniques. The monomer structure in copolymer was determined by 1H-NMR analysis. The thermal behaviors of homopolymers and copolymers were determined by using thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) methods.
