Abstract
ABSTRACTThe radical polymerization of methacrylic acid (MAA) at 0, 20, 40, and 70 °C was achieved in porous isotactic (it‐) poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films on quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) substrates, which were prepared by layer‐by‐layer assembled stereocomplex films of it‐PMMA and syndiotactic (st‐) poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA), followed by the subsequent extraction of st‐PMAA. The MAA polymerization yields increased from 35 to 75%, as the polymerization temperature increased from 0 to 70 °C. Furthermore, infrared spectroscopy revealed that a higher polymerization temperature is necessary to form it‐PMMA/st‐PMAA stereocomplexes via stereoregular polymerization manner that resemble native it‐PMMA/st‐PMAA stereocomplexes. X‐ray diffraction pattern of porous it‐PMMA were also investigated for reaction fields. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2014, 52, 3032–3036
