Abstract
Photocrosslinkable prepolymers were synthesized by using poly(styrene- co-maleic anhydride) as the polymeric backbone and 4-[2-(4-[aminomethy l]phenyl)ethenyl]pyridine as the crosslinking agent. The photochemical [2+2] cycloaddition of the ethylene double-bond is utilized as the cr osslinking principle. Using prepolymers, substituted with more than 2 mol% crosslinker, UV-irradiation yields insoluble networks. The networ k density can be easily adjusted by variation of the crosslinker conte nt.
