The reaction of radical copolymerization oligopropylene macromonomer (M1) with methyl methacrylate (M2) has been carried out, the regularities and properties obtained products have studied. It found that values relative activity these monomers are r1=0.02 r2=12.2, respectively. fact value constant is close to zero indicates it not prone homopolymerization reactions only undergoes reactions. dep...

ABSTRACT In this paper, the synthesis and characterization of poly(norbornene) homo- and copolymers bearing spiropyran side groups are described. Difficulties in the homopolymerization of spiropyrans due to the opened merocyanine form were observed leading to low polymerization yields for homopolymers while copolymers with 10 mol% spiropyran content were prepared in good yield. Spiropyrans are ...

A series of prototypical Co(II)-based pyridyl bis(imine) complexes {[2(ArN=C(Me))2C5H3N]CoCl2} (Ar = 2,6-C6H3Me2, 2,5-C6H3Me2, 2,4-C6H3Me2, 2,3C6H3Me2) bearing two methyl substituents on each imine aryl group are studied as precatalysts for the homopolymerization of 1,3-butadiene. They showed very high polymerization activities associated with ethylaluminum sesquichloride (EAS) as a cocatalyst....

The previously unresolved issue of polymerization of allyl monomers CH2 CHCH2 X is overcome by a palladium-catalyzed insertion polymerization of diallyl ether as a monomer. An enhanced 2,1-insertion of diallyl ether as compared to mono-allyl ether retards the formation of an unreactive five-membered cyclic O-chelate (after 1,2-insertion) that otherwise hinders further polymerization, and also ...

We report the radical initiated homopolymerization of a soluble vinylferrocene cyclodextrin-complex in water. Uncomplexed vinylferrocene 1 and the corresponding homopolymer are hydrophobic and completely insoluble in water. Complexation of 1 with methyl-β-cyclodextrin 2 results in clearly water-soluble structures due to incorporation of the ferrocene moiety into the cyclodextrin cavity. After f...

The present work describes a methodology for estimation of monomer concentration during homopolymerization reactions by Raman spectroscopy. The estimation is done using linear models based on two different approaches: a univariate approach and a multivariate approach (with principal component regression, PCR, or partial least squares regression, PLS). The linear models are fitted with data from...

The synthesis of two-dimensional double metal cyanide complexes of the formula Co(H2O)2[M(CN)4].4H2O (M=Ni, Pd or Pt) and the X-ray crystal structure of Co(H2O)2[Pd(CN)4].4H2O are presented. The anhydrous forms of these complexes were found to be effective catalyst precursors for the homopolymerization of propylene oxide as well as the random copolymerization of propylene oxide and carbon dioxi...
