Abstract
Alternating copolymers of butadiene and long alkyl methacrylates I and their hydrogenated copolymers II were synthesized, characterized and designated as widely-spaced comb-like polymers.
A differential scanning calorimetry study of these copolymers indicated that their alkyl side chains could crystallize in the same order as those of poly (alkyl methacrylates).
