Abstract
Radical (co)polymerization behavior of alkoxyvinylsilanes [tri(isobutoxy)vinylsilane 1, triethoxyvinylsilane 2, di(isobutoxy)methylvinylsilane 3, di(isobutoxy)phenylvinylsilane 4, diethoxymethylvinylsilane 5, and diethoxyphenylvinylsilane 6] was systematically investigated. Homopolymerization and copolymerization with styrene of these alkoxyvinylsilanes were performed under various conditions in order to find appropriate initiating systems for the radical polymerizations. Transformation of some of the copolymers into poly[(vinyl alcohol)-co-styrene]s was examined via oxidative cleavage of the Si-C bonds in the alkoxyvinylsilane repeating units.
