We performed a free radical solution polymerization of new acrylonitrile (AN), styrene (St) and styrene sodium sulfonate (SSS) acceptor-donor acceptor monomer systems. The compositions and structures of the produced terpolymers were elucidated using CHNS elemental analysis, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies. Three terpolymers candidates were chosen for detailed thermal investigations, where the AN molar ratio varied almost threefold (from ~6.9% to ~17.4%) while the molar ratios of St and SSS varied slightly, at average values around 76.0% and 12.9%, respectively. The glass transition (T g ) values of the terpolymers were measured calorimetrically. In addition, thermal gravimetric analyses (TGA) of the samples were conducted in the temperature range from room temperature to 800 °C. All terpolymers exhibited a single T g value, indicating random copolymerization of the monomeric species. TGA results revealed that variation of the AN molar ratio had a significant influence on the thermal stabilities of the terpolymers. The impact of AN contribution on the molecular dynamics of the glass transition in the terpolymers was explained quantitatively in a framework of a molecular model.
