Both the non-metallized and metallized monoazo compounds of our invention are dyes for fibers prepared from graft polymers obtained by graft polymerizing acryloniform if desired. Also the trile alone or together with one or more other monoethylenic monomers with a preformed polymer. The preformed polymer can be a homopolymer (a polymer prepared by polymerization of a single monomer) or it can be an interpolymer such as a copolymer (a polymer prepared by the simultaneous polymerization in a smgle reaction mixture of two monomers) or a terpolymer (a polymer prepared by the simultaneous polymerization in a single reaction mixture of three monomers), or the like, and the graft polymers for which the dyes are particullarly useful are those containing at least 5% by weight of combined acrylonitrile grafted to the preformed polymer molecule.
The graft polymers which can be dyed using the nonmetallized and metallized dyes are thus polymers having directed placement of the polymerized monomeric units in the graft polymer molecule as distinguished from the random distribution obtained in interpolymers which are prepared by simultaneous polymerization of all of the monomeric materials in the polymer. The preformed polymer can be either a homopolymer of any of the Well-known polymerizable monomers containing a single --CH=C group and desirably a CH =C group, or an interpolymer of two or more of such monomers; an the grafting can be effected with the preformed homopolymer or interpolymer in the polymerization mixture in which it was formed (i. e. a live polymer) or with the preformed polymer isolated from the polymerization mixture in which it was formed (i. e. a dead polymer).
The preformed polymer desirably is a homopolymer of a vinyl pyridine, an acrylamide, a maleamide, a fumaraa methacrylamide, a methacrylate, an intoconamide, a citraconamide, a fumaramate, an intaconamate, a citraconamate, a maleamate, or a vinyl ester; or an interpolymer of two or more of such monomers with each other or of at least one of such monomers with one or more different monoethylenic monomers characterized by a CH=C group such as styrene, acrylonitrile, substituted styrenes, vinyl or vinylidene chlorides, vinyl ethers, dialkyl maleates, ,alkenyl ketones, dialkyl fumarates, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid,
- substituted acrylonitriles, fumaronitrile, ethylene and the like.
The graft polymerization is effected by polymerizing acrylonitrile or a mixture of acrylonitrile with any other monoethylenic monomer, including any of the monomers enumerated hereinabove, with the preformed live or dead homopolymer or interpolymer whereby the acrylonitrile alone or together with another grafting monomer is com bined with the preformed polymer molecule to give a graft polymer containing from 5 to by weight of combined acrylonitrile.
The new azo compounds of our invention are of particular utility for dyeing fibers prepared from a graft polymer obtained by graft polymerizing acrylonitrile and an acrylamide or methacrylamide with a preformed c0- polymer of acrylonitrile and the same or different acrylamide or methacrylamide.
