Abstract
Abstract A novel and facile synthesis of aromatics containing di- and tetrafunctional propenyl ether monomers is reported. These monomers were prepared by the base-catalyzed condensation of allyl glycidyl ether with a variety of bisphenols followed by allylation of the secondary hydroxyl groups and finally isomerization of the allyl groups by a ruthenium catalyst. The cationic photopolymerization of these novel monomers to give crosslinked network polymers was carried out using a diaryliodonium salt photoinitiator. The reactivity of the multifunctional propenyl ether monomers was studied using real-time infrared spectroscopy and by differential scanning photocalorimetry.
