In order to examine the possibility of obtaining better
polymers from N-substituted maleimide, we reported here the
synthesis of N-[5-salicylic maleimide] monomer and its
polymerization and co-polymerization with acrylic acid. The
physical, spectral and thermal properties have been studied to
characterize the homo- and co-polymers.
