Abstract
N-TrimethylsilylacrYlamide (TMSAm), a hydrophobic acrylamide, has been synthesized and characterized. The monomer could be polymerized in be nzene by 2,2'-azoisobutyronitrile or benzoyl peroxide to poly(TMSAm). The silylated polymer was characterized with H-1 NMR. Poly(TMSAm) is s table in the absence of moisture. It could be quantitatively hydrolyze d to polyacrylamide under mild conditions. The monomer has been copoly merized with styrene in benzene by benzoyl peroxide to yield polymers which on hydrolysis give copolymers of acrylamide and styrene.
