Abstract

Free radical terpolymerization of maleic anhydride (in the form ofhalfestcr of maleic acid) crotonic acid and vinyl
acetate has been accomplished at 75-80° using benzoyl peroxide as initiator. It has been observed that three monomers
polymerise simultaneously and form terpolymer in all monomeric ratios. Terpolymers of 8394-18434 molecular weight
are obtained. These are white solid substances soluble in most of organic solvents that softens at 70-90°. The refractive
index ofterpolymer samples ranges 1.3610-1.3635. The terpolymers may be used in the preparation of hair spray as the
film forming agent.
