Modification of acrylic acid and Acryloyl chloride polymers

In this work many amide polymers were prepared according to the modification reaction of polyacryloyl chloride or polyacrylic acid with different primary amines to corresponding N - substituted acrylamide polymers. These polymers were identified and characterized by IR, UV. Spectroscopy, elemental analysis and their physical properties were determined by measuring of softening points. The intrinsic viscosity was measured by using Ostwald - Fenske viscometer. The thermal analysis (DTA and TG) were studied for several polyamides and we concluded from all results of two different ways that the modification of polyacryloyl chloride to N - substituted acrylamide polymers gave best results and the probability of their uses due to the functional groups were substituted on nitrogen atom, such as aromatic or heterocyclic or aliphatic groups, the results appeared good thermal properties and chemical resistance and high yield.
