Summary
Methyl methacrylate colloids were obtained by codeposition at 77K of the monomer with several metals such as: Au, Pd, Cu, Ge, Ga, In, Sn, Sb and Bi. The colloids were polymerized with different amounts of initiator (AIBN) at 60°C and a wide range of viscosity average molecular weights (Mv; 104–105) were obtained depending upon the metal used. The metal colloid concentrations are reported. The thermal stability and metal composition are also described. The polymers are stable even at 350°C and the metal content is 0.7 to 3.1%.
