Notes:
The diesters of itaconic acid (methylenesuccinic acid) with higher C12 - C20 unbranched, saturated, aliphatic alcohols were prepared, purified, and polymerized in bulk or in solution with 2,2′-azoisobutyronitrile as initiator. The transparent to waxy polymers obtained were fractionated and all fractions characterized by viscosity and light scattering measurements. The Kuhn-Mark-Houwink-Sakurada relations were established and then extrapolated to thetaconditions, in order to calculate the unperturbed dimensions. High values of the steric factor σ, and the characteristic ratio C∞ were obtained. The results correlate well with those obtained previously for poly(di-n-alkyl itaconate)s from the corresponding lower C1 - C11 alcohols.
