Title	A Novel Synthetic Route to Highly Cross-Linked Poly(alkylvinylether)s. Synthesis and Free Radical Polymerization of a Vinyl Ether Monomer Containing Electron Acceptors in Side Chain

Keywords
Abstract	p-(2-Vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenemalononitrile 2 and methyl p-(2-vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenecyanoacetate 3 was prepared by the condensation of p-(2-vinyloxyethoxy)benzaldehyde 1 with malononitrile or methyl cyanoacetate, respectively. Vinyl ether monomers 2 and 3 polymerized quantitatively with radical initiators in γ-butyrolactone solution at 65 ℃. The trisubstituted terminal double bond participated in the vinyl polymerization and radical polymerization of 2 and 3 led to swelling polymers 4 and 5 that were not soluble in common solvents due to cross-linking. Under the same polymerization conditions ethylvinyl ether polymerized well with model compounds of p-methoxybenzylidenemalononitrile 6 and methyl p-methoxybenzylidenecyanoacetate 7, respectively, to give 1:1 alternating copolymers 8 and 9 in high yields. Polymers 4 and 5 showed a thermal stability up to 300 ℃ without any characteristic Tg peaks in DSC thermograms. Alternating copolymers 8 and 9 were soluble in common solvents such as acetone and DMSO, and the inherent viscosities of the polymers were in the range of 0.36-0.74 dL/g. Films cast from acetone solution were cloudy and tough and Tg values obtained from DSC thermograms were in the range of 59-60 ℃.
