abstract: In the present work the synthesis and the chemical and thermal characterization of poly(methyl methacrylate-co-butyl methacrylate) copolymer, in three different macromolecular compositions, are reported. The aim of the present work was the identification of a standard method to obtain copolymers with controlled macromolecular composition, molecular weights and particle size distribution, together with the identification of the effect of the macromolecular composition on the material properties. A monomer-starved seeded semi-batch emulsion reaction was carried out and optimized, monitoring the kinetic of the copolymerization through the evaluation of residual monomer amounts. Then, an evaluation of the macromolecular composition was performed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. Molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, latex characteristics and thermal behaviour were also investigated.
