Abstract

AbstractCopolymers from 1‐propoxyethyl methacrylate and various vinyl monomers such as n‐butyl methacrylate and styrene were synthesized, and the thermal dissociation reaction of the copolymers containing the hemiacetal ester structure was examined. The copolymers, having the ability of thermal dissociation, could control the thermal dissociation temperature because of the bulkiness and flexibility of the vinyl comonomers, the copolymer compositions, and so on. Furthermore, the possibility of control of the initiation in thermally latent addition with epoxides in the case of copolymers was also studied. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
