Summary
Copolymerizations of 1,1-diphenylethylene(DPE) with m- or p-divinylbenzene(DVB) were carried out in THF and toluene using alkyllithiums as initiators, and the monomer reactivity ratios were determined. The copolymers prepared in the presence of excess DPE over DVB had a highly alternating character and was harder to form a crosslinked polymer as compared with the homopolymer of DVB. The copolymer was treated with sec-C4H9Li in THF, and the resulting polyanion was reacted with several methacrylates to form the graft copolymers withpolymethacrylate branches.
