Abstract
AbstractThe effect of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) on the polymerization of tetrahydrofuran (THF) catalyzed by boron trifluoride‐diethyl ether complex at 0°C. has been investigated. Glycidyl acetate (GA) was used as a reference compound for GMA. GMA and GA acted as cocatalysts and fibrous, highly crystalline and high molecular weight poly‐THF was obtained. GMA and GA could also serve as a comonomer; the resulting oily or waxy copolymers of GMA contained unsaturation from GMA units. The copolymers with GMA were cured by heating and grafted to styrene and methyl methacrylate in the presence of radical initiators.
