Abstract
Poly(sec-butyl crotonate) (poly(SBC)) was prepared by anionic polymeri zation. 1,1-Diphenylhexyllithium was found to be an effective initiato r. Poly(SBC) showed the same optical properties as poly(methyl methacr ylate) (poly(MMA)) but different features: poly(SBC) had a high glass transition temperature (T-g) and very high extensibility below T-g, in comparison to poly(MMA). Poly(SBC) can be expected to find applicatio ns as an optical material having high flexibility and high service tem perature.
