Abstract
The syntheses and polymerizations of (2‐oxo‐1,3‐dioxolan‐4‐yl)methyl acrylate, 4‐(2‐oxo‐1,3‐dioxolan‐4‐yl)methyl itaconate, and (2‐oxo‐1,3‐dioxolan‐4‐yl)methyl maleate are described. Reactivity ratios in the copolymerization of these monomers with other comonomers are reported and the Alfrey‐PriceQandevalues calculated. The post‐polymerization effects of ultraviolet light and heat on these polymers and copolymers are presented and compared to those for similar polymers containing the 2,2‐dimethyl‐1,3‐dixolane groups, which performs as an internal ultraviolet sensitizer. The 2‐oxo derivatives are crosslinked thermally but not by ultraviolet light. The crosslinking reaction can be catalyzed by acids, bases, and salts.Keywords
