Abstract
AbstractTwo kinds of itaconamic esters, α‐substituted acrylate derivatives (IAE‐I) and α‐substituted acrylamide derivatives (IAE‐II), as well as itaconamides (IAm) were prepared and polymerized with a radical initiator. It has been revealed that N,N‐disubstituted IAE‐I as an acrylate is more reactive in polymerization than N,N‐disubstituted IAE‐II as an acrylamide and that N,N′‐dialkyl substituted IAm homopolymerizes but N,N,N′,N′;‐tetraalkyl substituted one does not. In radical copolymerization with styrene, IAE‐I showed a higher polymerization reactivity than IAE‐II. The effects of the N‐substituents on the polymerization reactivity were discussed on the basis of conformation of the monomers. The polymers obtained were also characterized. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
