Abstract

Polymers containing side β-diketonate moieties have been synthesized through the polymerization of styrene initiated by cobalt(II) 5-methyl-5-hexene-2,4-dionate. The polymers thus prepared have been used as macroinitiators for grafting of methyl methacrylate onto a polystyrene matrix. The grafting density and the mean size of grafted chains have been estimated. It has been shown that the graft polymerization may be governed via variation of the concentration of the macroinitiator and the content of active centers in it.
