For this purpose, PECH-N-3 was synthesized by using poly(epichlorohydrin) and sodium azide. PMMA-propargyl was obtained by reaction of methyl methacrylate and propargyl alcohol via redox polymerization technique. By using PECH-N-3 and PMMA-propargyl, the comb-type graft copolymers were obtained. Characterization of the modified homopolymers and the comb-type graft copolymers was performed by using FT-IR, H-1-NMR, SEM, GPC, and elemental analysis techniques. Thermal transitions and degradation features of the comb-type graft copolymers were investigated by using DSC and TGA methods. Spectroscopic and thermal analyses revealed that both group modifications and coupling reactions were successfully achieved.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess"Click" chemistryRedox polymerizationComb-type graft copolymerPoly(epichlorohydrin)Poly(methyl methacrylate)Article2210.1007/s42452-020-1985-zN/AWOS:000517964300042N/A
