ABSTRACT

46The radical copolymerization of para-(2-carboxy) cyclopropyl styrene (CCPS) with 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene (DMB) has been carried out. It has been shown that the copolymerization reactions proceed with opening of double bond of vinyl group of CCPS and 1,4-addition of DMB. The copolymerization constants have been determined, and the factors of activity and the polarity of the used monomers have been calculated. It has been shown that the synthesized copolymers are capable for structurization under action of UV-irradiation and show the high photosensitive properties.
