Abstract in another language

This work reports the homo- and copolymerization behavior of previously unknown 4-diamantyl methacrylate (DMA) with vinyl comonomers like methyl methacrylate (MMA); the starting monomer DMA was synthesized in our laboratory using 4-diamantanol and methacryloyl chloride. The structures of the homo- and copolymers were analyzed using NMR techniques. DMA was found to be more reactive than MMA during copolymerization. The reactivity ratios as determined by the Kelen-Tüdos method are rMMA = 0.58 and rDMA = 1.75. The incorporation of a few mol of diamantyl units into the PMMA backbone led to a significant increase in its thermal stability and glass transition temperature. The polymers with 15 and 42 mol of DMA units in the copolymers showed increased Tg values of 126°C and 172°C, respectively. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009
