description

This lecture summarize some recent results of our current research. The first part describes the homopolymerization and copolymerization of a monocyclic and two bicyclic unsaturated acetals. In this way polyacetals with 1,4-cis-butadiene units and cyclohexene units respectively are obtained. Secondly, the N-substitution of polyamides is described. By N-metalation and subsequent alkylation comb-like polyamides are available. Longer branches cause a side-chain crystallinity. The anionic “grafting-from” technique forms irregular branched polyamides. By termination reaction between living ends of poly(2-isopropenylnaphthalene) and suitable electrophiles new macromonomers are available. The last part describes their copolymerization with butyl methacrylate.
