Abstract
Set of new 4,4'-substituted 1,3-diphenoxypropan-2-ol-based methacrylate monomers were designed. Their free radical polymerization provided three homopolymers. These novel polymers were characterized with NMR, IR spectroscopies, as well as DSC and SEC. The effect of substituents in the 4,4-position on the rate of homopolymerization of monomers was investigated and analyzed. It was found, that the highest polymerization rate is observed for monomer with acceptor substituents. For monomer with a donor substituent, the lowest polymerization rate was observed. Glass transition temperature decreased in a row: unsubstituted > acceptor substituent > donor substituent.
