Abstract
Widely spaced comb-like polymers in which teeth (alkyl side-chains) appear on every four main-chain carbon atoms were synthesized as copolymers of styrene, or α-methylstyrene with alkyl acrylates, alkyl methacrylates, or dialkyl itaconates. Alkyl groups were dodecyl, tetradecyl, hexadecyl, and octadecyl. The long alkyl side-chains of these comb-like polymers crystallized as in conventional comb-like polymers but the extent of crystallization varied with cumulative substitution of phenyl and methyl groups on the copolymer main-chains. This is due to the influence of these substituents on the flexibility of the main-chain.
