Abstract
AbstractGraft copolymers with a polyester backbone and PMMA side chains were successfully prepared in a two and a three step approach. In the two step approach, functional polyesters were prepared via polycondensation using hexane diol and bromosuccinic acid as building blocks and methyl methacrylate (MMA) was grafted from the resulting poly(hexamethylene bromosuccinate) (PHMBS), here the initiating group is linked directly to the polyester backbone.In the second approach hexane diol and malic acid were used as bilding blocks giving poly(hexamethylene malate) (PHMM). The hydroxyl groups of PHMM were transferred with 2‐bromo‐2‐propionylbromide into an ATRP‐initiator. Then the grafting of MMA from poly(hexamethylene malate) bromopropionate (PHMM‐BrP) was investigated.
