Abstract

A method is presented for determining the residual unsaturations in copolymers of methyl methacrylate with glycol dimethacrylates, and the fraction of dimethacrylate molecules which have reacted at both ends (the cross-linking efficiency) is calculated from the result. Residual unsaturations are determined from a comparison of the observed volume contractions per mole of double bond with the corresponding contractions for complete ...
