Notes:
The preparation of a completely isopropylated polystyrene by polymerization of p-isopropylstyrene monomer is described. This polymer was autoxidized in cyclohexane with lauroyl peroxide to give a material of good reproducibility and high purity. Methyl methacrylate was successfully grafted to the polymeric hydroperoxide by using a sugar-containing recipe. Homopolymer was separated from the graft copolymer by extraction. Evidence for grafting was obtained from solubility and fractionation behavior, as well as from light-scattering and viscosity measurements.
