Synthesis of Vinyl Cinnamate-Vinyl Acetate Copolymers and their Melting Points

Non-isothermal crystallization and melting of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers with different vinyl acetate contents

Non-isothermal crystallization and subsequent melting of three grades of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique. The DSC crystallization curves show that vinyl acetate (VAc) content has the same effect on the onset, peak and final crystallization temperatures, and these copolymers have almost the same spacing of thermal windows un...

Synthesis of poly(vinyl acetate) block copolymers by successive RAFT and ATRP with a bromoxanthate iniferter.

Poly(vinyl acetate)-b-polystyrene, poly(vinyl acetate)-b-poly(methyl acrylate) and poly(vinyl acetate)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) block copolymers with low polydispersity (M(w)/M(n) < 1.25) were prepared by successive reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) employing a bromoxanthate iniferter (initiator-transfer age...

Toward the synthesis of sequence-controlled vinyl copolymers.

An ATRA based strategy to synthesize vinyl copolymers with monomer-level sequence control is proposed. In each cycle, one allyl alcohol is added to the ATRP chain end, and then the hydroxymethyl residue is oxidized to carboxylic acid and a side group is introduced via esterification, making the new chain end active for the next cycle.
