M. Coskun et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF 3-CYCLOHEXYLOXY-2-HYDROXYPROPYL ACRYLATE AND ITS HOMOPOLYMER, Journal of macromolecular science. Pure and applied chemistry, A33, 1996, pp. 117-125
3-Cyclohexyloxy-2-hydroxypropyl acrylate was prepared from acrylic aci
d, cyclohexanol and epichlorhydrin. Polymerization of the monomer was
carried out in 1,4-dioxane solution in presence of benzoyl peroxide as
initiator. The monomer and the polymer microstructure were investigat
ed by H-1 and C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and infrared techn
iques. Some properties of the homopolymer were also determined.
