Abstract
Monomers having on the one hand a polymerizable double bond and on the other hand a large macrocyclic ring ( n≥27–28) through which a growing chain may be threaded are shown to be a new type of crosslinking agents which lead to non-bond crosslinking of vinyl polymers. This is demonstrated by cyclic octaethylene glycol fumarate, a 29-membered ring obtained in the reaction of fumaryl chloride with octaethylene glycol under high dilution conditions, which upon copolymerization with styrene or methylmethacrylate led to crosslinked polymers.
