Abstract
Radical emulsion polymerizations of vinylcyclopropanes, 1,1-bis(ethoxy carbonyl)-2-vinylcyclopropane (ECVCP) and 1,1-dichloro-2-vinylcyclopro pane (CVCP) were examined. ECVCP underwent soap-free and soap-in emuls ion polymerizations satisfactorily to afford the ring-opened polymer i n good yields. Polymer emulsions were obtained in a spherical shape wi th single particle size distribution. Meanwhile, emulsion polymerizati on of CVCP proceeded in only a low conversion.
