Abstract

In the emulsion polymerization of allyl methacrylate (AMA), the reactive crosslinked polymer microspheres or microgel-like polymers with abundant pendant allyl groups were easily obtained because AMA possesses two types of vinyl groups, methacrylic and allylic double bonds, having greatly different reactivities. The resulting microgel-like poly(allyl methacrylate) microspheres (PAMA microspheres) were characterized by light scattering and viscometry. Then, the characteristic polymerization behaviour of PAMA microspheres was explored by the copolymerizations with diallyl terephthalate (DAT) and allyl benzoate (ABz).
