Abstract

AbstractSome itaconic acid derivatives were prepared and polymerized, in which itaconic acid (IA), β‐monoalkyl itaconates (mRI), dialkyl itaconates (DRI), N‐substituted itaconamates (IAE), itaconamides (IAm), itaconic anhydride (IAn), N‐alkylitaconimides (RII), and N‐(alkyl‐substituted phenyl)itaconimides (RPhII) are included. The polymerization reactivity was examined, and discussed in relation to the structure of the monomers. The structure and some properties of the resulting polymers were investigated. Some citraconic acid (CA) and mesaconic acid (MA) derivatives were also polymerized, and their reactivities were compared with the corresponding IA derivatives.
