Abbreviated as AIBN. It is soluble in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, ether, propane, petroleum ether, and aniline. Upon heating, it decomposes to release nitrogen gas and organic **compounds containing the -(CH2)2-C-CN group. Decomposition temperature: 64°C. It decomposes slowly at room temperature, but decomposes rapidly at 100 °C. It can cause explosions and fires; it is flammable. Toxic. The nitrogen and organic **compounds released are highly harmful to the human body. Azobisisobutyronitrile is an oil-soluble azo initiator. Azo initiators undergo reactions in a stable manner; these reactions are first-order and involve no side reactions, making them easy to control. Therefore, they are widely used in the research and production of polymers. For example, they are initiators for the polymerization of monomers such as vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, and acrylonitrile, and can also be used as blowing agents for polyvinyl chloride, polyolefins, polyurethanes, polyvinyl alcohol, copolymers of acrylonitrile with butadiene and styrene, polyisocyanates, polyvinyl acetate, polyamides, and polyesters. Furthermore, it can also be used in other organic syntheses.
