Abstract
Summary: Vinyl ethers were prepared from benzyl, 2‐phenylethyl, 3‐phenylpropyl, 2‐benzyloxyethyl, 2‐(para‐tertiary‐butylphenoxy)‐ethyl, tetrahydrofurfuryl, and 2‐cyanoethyl alcohols. The vinyl ethers, as well as 1‐methoxy‐1,3‐butadiene and cyclohexyl vinyl ether, when copolymerized with nonconjugated linseed vinyl ether produced viscous liquids that baked to films of moderate hardness and with fair resistance to alkali and acid. These copolymer films offered little improvement in hardness over similarly prepared films from nonconjugated linseed vinyl ether homopolymer. Baked films of nonconjugated linseed‐2‐ (para‐tertiary‐butylphenoxy) ethyl vinyl ether copolymers had improved alkali resistance over the homopolymer baked films and were considered to be the best of the copolymer films studied.
