Abstract: The radical copolymerization of p-cyclopropyl styrene (1) and its monochloro-(II) and gemdichloro-substituted derivatives with methacrylic acid was carried out. The composition and structure of these copolymers was established. It revealed that the copolymerization reactions proceed with opening of double bond of the vinyl group (I-III) of monomers and methacrylic acid. Also, copolymerization constants were determined and Q-e parameters on Alfrey-Price and copolymer microstructure calculated. It found that the synthesized copolymers were characterized by effective light transmission (88-90 %) and optical index.

Introduction
Modern technologies in opto- and micro-optoelectronics, optics, medicine and other branches make special requirements for synthetic materials. Therefore, the interest of manufacturers in new equipment and materials for poly-functional monomers, oligomers, polymers and copolymers based thereon is constantly growing. In this respect crucial role goes to polymers and styrene copolymers and their derivatives [1-3]. One of the ideal derivatives of styrene in terms of optically transparent homo- and copolymer creation are functionally substituted cyclopropyl styrenes [4]. An availability of functionally substituted cyclopropyl substituents with interesting structure and properties enhance optical and photosensitive properties of the obtained high-molecular compounds, contribute to various chemical conversions and as a result makes it possible to obtain the polymeric materials with appropriate properties. However, transparent polystyrene has the following disadvantages:
fragility, low adhesion, instability to UV-rays. One of the ways of problem resolution is the preparation of new copolymers of styrene and its derivatives with other, primarily polar monomers. In this aspect the ideal comonomers are methacrylic monomers [5].
This paper has been devoted to the results of the investigation of regularities of the copolymerization of chloro-substituted cyclopropyl styrenes with methacrylic acid (MAA).
The aim of this work - revealing of some regularities of the radical copolymerization of p-cyclopropyl styrene (I) and its monochloro- (II) and gemdichlorosubstituted derivatives (III) with methacrylic acid (MAA). The obtained polyfunctional copolymers can be used in the further chemical conversions. In addition, it is known that the chlorine-containing cyclopropane compounds are suitable for preparation of biologically active compounds.
The synthesis of p-cyclopropyl styrene (I) and its monochloro- (II) and gemdichlorosubstituted derivatives (III) was carried out in line with previously described methodology [6]. The copolymerization
reaction (I-III) with MAA was realized in ampoules in the benzene solution in the presence of freshly-crystallized initiator AIBN and the quantity of 0.2 mol % from total mass of comonomers at 700C. The obtained

copolymers were purified by two-fold precipitation from benzene solutions with pentane and dried to a constant mass at 30°C in vacuum (15-20 mm merc.c.). Copolymers composition was calculated due to chemical analysis of carboxyl group, and for copolymers (II-III) + MAA - elemental analysis for chlorine content. In the processes for which constants were calculated, the conversion of comonomers made up 8-10%.
The obtained copolymers are transparent powdery products, well soluble in dioxane and acetone. Characteristic viscosity for
copolymers (I-III) + MAA was determined in dioxane in Ubbelohde viscometer at 20°C ([n] = 0.95-1.1 dl/g) (Table 2). The parameters of copolymer microstructure were determined by means of equation presented in work [7].
The IR spectra of the initial monomers and synthesized copolymer were registered on spectrometer "Agilent Cary 630 FTIR" of firm "Agilent Technologies", and the PMR spectra on spectrometer "Fourier" of firm "Bruker" (FRG) (300.18 MHz) in dioxane solution.
The refractive index was determined using a device Anton Paar Abbemat 200.

Results and discussion
With the aim of determination of carboxyl groups and chlorine atom in the influence of the initial concentration of copolymer composition (Table 1). the monomer mixture on composition of The copolymerization constants of
forming copolymers the copolymerization system (I-III) + MAA have been reaction was carried out at various ratios determined by Fineman-Ross method [8] of the initial comonomers. The molar and the values of Q-e parameters on fractions of the corresponding links (m1 Alfrey-Price have been calculated (Table and m2) have been found on content of 1).
Table 1. Conditions of preparation, compositions and parameters of copolymer microstructures of cyclopropyl styrene (I) and its 2-chloro-(II) and 2,2-dichloro-(III) substituted derivatives (M1) with methacrylic acid (M 2). t=70°C, initiator AIBN (0,2 mol % from total mass of the comonomers).
The calculation of the average statistical length L of links (I-III) + MAA fulfilled according to the equation given in [7], at degrees of conversion not more than 10% showed that for studied systems in a wide range of compositions (90:10 - 20:80) a value L of the monomers (I-III) and MAA close to unit is observed (Table 1). The values of azeotropic copolymer compositions are also close for studied systems (~55 mol % for I-III). The low values L indicate to relative regularity of distribution of links of the comonomers on macromolecular chain, hence it follows that in the chosen conditions of copolymerization it can be obtained the copolymers with uniform distribution of various structural units on macromolecular chain.
It turned out that the copolymerization constants values r1 and r2 of the investigated system evidence about larger activity of
DCCPS than MAA (ri > ri) (Table 2). This is has been obviously connected with influence of the chlorine atoms located at the cyclopropane ring on the vinyl group through a three-membered cycle and an increase of a degree of conjugation in the monomer molecule. This fact is confirmed by the data of UV spectrum of the monomer of DCCPS [9]. It has been seen from found copolymerization constant values that for systems (I-III) + MAA both types of formed radicals react more faster with "foreign" monomer than with their "own", and in the formation of macromolecules of copolymers are inclined to links alternation (rir2<<1). The main reason of such phenomenon, as is known, is the difference in the polarity of monomers and radicals formed from them. The inclination to alternation of monomer links in the macromolecule of copolymers with MAA grows in a series I<II<III.

The structure of copolymers obtained from monomers (I-III) + MAA under the conditions of radical polymerization was proved through comparing IR and PMR spectra of initial monomers and copolymers synthesized thereon.
The structural investigation of copolymers showed that the absorption bands at 1500-1605 cm"1, in the field of 1040-1045 cm-1 and 3400 cm-1 characteristic of benzene ring, cyclopropane and carboxyl groups, respectively, were kept after copolymerization. In the IR spectra of copolymers obtained from monomers II-III, there were absorption bands in the field of 640-750 cm-1 characteristic for C-C l bond.
The structure of the elementary
structural fragments of macromolecules chain was also confirmed by PMR spectra. In the PMR spectra of copolymers the signals characteristic for protons of aromatic nucleus at 6.60-7.30 ppm, for carboxylic group 9.012.2 ppm and for cyclopropane ring at 0.651.66 ppm were detected.
An absence of the absorption band at 1640 cm-1, stipulated by vibrations of the vinyl group in the IR-spectrum, and also the signal at 5 = 5.7-6.41 ppm corresponding to double bonds of the vinyl group in the PMR spectra of the comonomers confirm that the copolymerization proceeds on double С=С bond of the comonomers.

The phenyl and cyclopropane fragments, as well as halogen atoms hinder the ordered arrangement of macromolecules and, as a result, the generation of crystalline formations. Due to its structural peculiarities the synthesized copolymers have good optical properties

It found that the synthesized copolymers have good light transmission (88-90 %).
It follows from obtained data that an increase of content of (I—III) monomers in the copolymers leads to considerable increase of

It revealed that copolymers of p-cyclopropyl styrene (I) and its monochloro-
(II) and gemdichlorosubstituted derivatives
(III) with methacrylic acid have high optical properties. In addition, the copolymers containing chlorine atoms in macromolecules display high biological activity. Obtained copolymers can be used as optically transparent materials in optics, medicine, optotechnology, and also in preparation of other optical products.
Conclusions
1. Radical copolymerization of p-cyclopropyl styrene (I) and its monochloro- (II) and gemdichlorosubstituted derivatives (III) with methacrylic acid was carried out. Copolymerization constants (n=0.54-0,62, r2=0.30-0.35) were determined, Q-e parameters on Alfrey-Price (Q1=0.553-0.637, e1= -0.640-(-0,646) and copolymers microstructure calculated.
2. It was established that obtained copolymers had high optical transparency
n2 =1,610-1,620 and light transmission (88-90 %) which opens up the possibility of using them as optically transparent polymer materials.
