Abstract
The synthesis and initiator-free photopolymerization of the following aliphatic monomer, containing both a vinyl ether group (electron donor) and a maleimide group (electron acceptor), is described: N-[5-(2-(vinyloxy)ethyloxy carbonyl) pentyl] maleimide (1). The polymerization reaction was followed with UV- and IR-measurements. It was shown that irradiation with a high power microwave lamp, without the presence of photoinitiators, resulted in very fast and efficient curing. This donor-acceptor monomer was also shown to be useful as a photoinitiator for the polymerization of acrylate monomers.
