P. Anton et A. Laschewsky, SYNTHESIS OF POLYMERIC SURFACTANTS BY RADICAL THIOL EN ADDITION-REACTION/, European Polymer Journal, 31(4), 1995, pp. 387-394
The access to polymeric surfactants via thiol/en addition is investiga
ted, and some synthetic guidelines are established. Surfactant monomer
s containing two olefinic groups of different reactivity were newly sy
nthesized. They were reacted with various thiols to provide reaction p
roducts with well-defined chemical structures. Polymers with different
length and polarity of their repeat units were obtained.
