Free Radical Ring-Opening Polymerization

  • Chapter
New Methods for Polymer Synthesis

Abstract

Ring-opening polymerization has been exploited for incorporation of functional groups such as ethers, esters, amides, and carbonates into the backbone of polymers. However, it is difficult to use commercially available vinyl monomers for copolymerization in the ionic ring-opening polymerization investigated much thus far. Radical ring-opening polymerization would afford a general solution to copolymerization of ring-opening monomers with various kinds of vinyl monomers. Thus, this process makes possible the synthesis of commercially available vinyl polymers containing functional groups such as ether, ester, and ketone groups in the backbone of polymers.(1)
