Abstract
A macroinitiator was prepared by copolymerization of styrene (St) with 7-methacryloyloxy-4-chloromethylcoumarone (MAOCMC). Grafting studies of coumarone with methyl methylacrylate were carried out in the presence of the macroinitiator poly(7-methacryloyloxy-4-chloromethylcoumarone-co-styrene) and with the catalyst of copper(I) bromide/2,2'-bipyridyne at 110°C. The activation energy valuations of graft copolymers acquired by Coats–Redfern, Tang and Flynn–Wall–Ozawa methods were designated to be 212.69, 214.44 and 223.57 kJ mol–1, respectively. For the outcomes were compared with these valuation differential methods and discrepant integral were used. In terms of experiential outcomes, the reaction mechanism was a dimensional diffusion (Dn) deceleration type in the transformation range worked.
