Abstract
AbstractLewis acid‐initiated polymerizations of 2‐vinyl‐1,3‐dioxolanes have been studied. Evidence is presented showing at least three types of structural units in the polymer. Polymerization is propagated by 1,2 addition, by acetal ring opening, and by rearrangement, ring opening mechanisms. Polymerization is accompanied by the formation of a dimer consisting of a 1,4‐dioxepane and 1,3‐dioxolane ring. Film formers from methacrylate esters of vinyl dioxolane compounds are also described.
