By avrami equation analysis the cyclization rate (k) increased when the temperature increased.However, we can observe that the more consists of dimethyl itaconate, the better decrease the cyclization reaction time and increase the cyclization rate (k) in PAN-based. Based on the above results,we can regard dimethyl itaconate as a cyclization catalyst to PAN-based.In this paper, these observation were confirmed by structural characterization by FT-IR, measured molecular weigh using GPC, calculated consist of PAN-based copolymer by NMR.
