Abstract
Beta-(Vinyloxy)ethyl cinnamate (VEC) is shown to undergo living cation ic polymerization, in the presence of EtAlCl2 and 1-(isobutoxy)ethyl a cetate or trifluoroacetic acid and ZnCl2, probably via a mechanism sim ilar to that of isobutyl vinyl ether (IBVE) polymerization. Some kinet ic data for VEC polymerization are presented. The living PVEC cations polymerized IBVE to produce poly[beta-(vinyloxy)ethyl cinnamate]-b-pol y(isobutyl vinyl ether) (PVEC-b-PIBVE). This diblock copolymer forms p olymer brushes on glass plates and brush can be fixed by the photo-cro ss-linking of the PVEC block.
