Poly(acrylonitrile-co-acrylamide) [poly(AN-co- AM)] was prepared via a redox method, with sodium bisulfite and potassium persulphate as the initiators. High yield was attained in up to 76% of monomer conversion within 3 h of reaction time. The copolymers were then chemically modified with hydroxylam...
