Summary Diallyl phthalate(DAP) was co-cured with vinyl monomers having long-chain alkyl groups, including vinyl laurate(VL), dioctyl fumarate(DOF), lauryl methacrylate(LMA), and stearyl methacrylate(SMA) with the intention of the improvement in mechanical properties of commercially important DAP resins. Thus the elongation and fracture energy increased with an increase in the mole fraction of comonomers and their extents were enlarged in the order VL 〈 DOF 〈 LMA 〈 SMA, although a reverse tendency was observed for the tensile strength; in particular, LMA and SMA as comonomers showed a remarkable effect. These results are discussed in detail by considering the copolymerizability of DAP with comonomers and, moreover, the formation of microgel in microheterogeneous copolymerization systems.
