Preparation and photoconductivity study of the C60/MMA copolymers

A series of C-60/MMA copolymers were synthesized by free radical polymerization. The experimental results showed that the polymerization conversion rate went up along with increasing the amount of initiator dramatically. Meanwhile, the C-60/MMA copolymers were characterized by the techniques of elemental analysis, GPC and DSC. In this paper, the photoconductivity of the C-60/MMA copolymers was also studied, and the influence parameters, such as exposure intensity, thickness of interface layer, of the photoconductivity have been discussed, separately. From thr experimental results, it can he conclude that C-60/MMA copolymers will become a candidate of photoelectric materials.
