ABSTRACT:

The present paper deals with the synthesis of terpolymer films of MMA-STY-AN and their physical properties were studied. The films were translucent, brittle and light yellow in colour. The films were found water permeable. The films were soluble in most of non polar solvents. The softening range of alloy films was found in between 89–119 0 C. The specific conductance of terpolymer films was found in the range 2.7 × 10-6-3.2 x 10-6 Ω-1. The films were characterized by elemental analysis FTIR and NMR spectroscopy.
