Abstract: PTHF-MMA block copolymer was synthesized by using azo-containning polytetrahydro-furan (AZO-PTHF) as macro-initiator in the radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate(MMA).The copolymer has been characterized by GPC, IR, H-NMR and thermal mechanicalanalyses. The physical property indicated that the block copolymer possesses higher creaseresistance and toughness than PMMA without obvious loss of transparence and tensilestrength.

Key words: tetrahydrofuran, methyl methacrlate, block copolymer, polymer initiator, polymerisation
