Abstract
The thermal degradation of the first six members of poly(mono‐n‐alkyl itaconates) by thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR) and FTIR evolved gas analysis (FTIR‐EGA) was studied. The degradation mechanism involves cyclic anhydride formation followed by crosslinking due to the linear anhydride formation. In both processes water and/or alcohol evolution was detected. Also, decarboxylation processes take place on all polymers at high temperatures ( > 180°C). A mechanism of the degradation process is proposed.

Hydrogels of mono-n-alkyl itaconate/N-acrylamide have been synthesised. The swelling process at three different pH values (acid, neutral and basic) has been studied. The experimental data indicate that our hydrogels follow second-order swelling kinetics. According to this, the kinetic constant, K, ,
## Abstract The binary polymeric systems formed by some poly(mono‐n‐alkyl itaconates) and poly(2‐vinylpyridine) or poly(4‐vinylpyridine) are studied. Depending on the solvent, two different types of material have been synthesized. On the one hand, using methanol as common solvent, we have obtained
## Abstract **Summary:** This paper reports an FT‐IR study of blends and complexes of poly(mono __n__‐alkyl itaconates) with poly(__N__,__N__‐dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) and poly(ethyloxazoline) (PEOX). Strong hydrogen bonding has been found and both polybases have shown similar acceptor strengths.
