Synthesis and Thermal Characterization of Copolymers Containing Amino Acids

Thee copolymers of amino acid were synthesized in two steps. First, the amino acids react with resorcinol to formation of azo monomers step. They led in a second condensation polymerization step to copolymeric materials. The structures of the copolymers were characterized by means of FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The thermal properties were investigated by TGA and DTG. Keywords: copolymers, amino acid, thermal properties, azo compoun
