2,2′‐Azobis[ N ‐(2‐propenyl)‐2‐methylpropionamide] (APMPA), a diallyl azo‐compound useful as an initiator at elevated temperatures, was copolymerized with allyl benzoate (ABz) at 60°C, providing poly(ABz‐ co ‐APMPA) which acts as a polymeric azo‐initiator. The effectiveness of poly(ABz‐ co ‐APMPA) to give a novel graft copolymer was checked by polymerizing ABz at 120°C and, furthermore, by the polymerization of styrene accompanied by crosslinking through termination by bimolecular combination.
