Polymerization of chloroethyl methacrylate and its interaction with amino compounds.

The peculiarity of the chemical structure of chloroethyl methacrylate (CEMA) - the presence of a relatively mobile halogen along with the vinyl and ester groups in the structure of the monomer determines the possibility of its participation in donor-acceptor interaction reactions with compounds of the opposite nature. The chemical reactions of halogenalkyl acrylates can be used to efficiently initiate polymerization at substantially low temperatures than in the case of conventional radical polymerization by conventional initiators. Such a transition may prove to be fruitful in terms of the effective regulation of the polymerization reactions of the monomers under consideration, proceeding under relatively mild conditions. At the same time, such polymerization processes, if implemented, can also be useful for the synthesis of polymers with improved performance properties. As a result of the studies, it was possible to show the fundamental possibility of the CEMA polymerization at relatively low room temperatures (293-303 K). The following series of amino compounds were selected: dimethylaniline (DMA), triethylamine, pyridine, polyethylene polyamine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
