Notes:
The effect of solvent in homo- and copolymerizations of methacryloyl fluoride (MAF) was investigated in various aromatic solvents. In these solvents, there is a significant effect on the rate of polymerization, on the tacticity of the resulting poly(methacryloyl fluoride), and on the copolymerization of MAF with methyl methacrylate (MMA). The equilibrium constants between MAF and aromatic solvents were determined from NMR spectroscopic measurements. These results indicated that the solvent effect on the MAF polymerization stems from changes in reactivity of MAF induced by the strong MAF-solvent interaction as well as stabilization of the MAF radical by solvents. Copolymerization of MAF with both p-methoxystyrene (MSt) and p-nitrostyrene (NSt) was also studied.
