Özet:

N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, NVP, was polymerized by {u10004A}-radiation in the presence of atmospheric oxygen and under vacuum at different periods. Polymerization also conducted by using chemical initiator, {u100092}-Azoisobutyronitrile, AIBN, in bulk at different temperatures and times. The activation energy for polymerization was found from Arrhenius plot as 31,8 kJ/mol. By using the Fox-Flory equation T{u10004A} and k values calculated for each polymerization methods. The polymer obtained was white gel type. The different types of polymer obtained were investigated by FT-IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR, DSC, TGA and viscosity measurement methods. According to the FT-IR and NMR results, the polymerizations proceeded via vinyl group. As expected, solution viscosity measurements and DSC results showed that the glass transition temperature of polymer increases with increasing molecular weight.
