Abstract
Poly(alpha-t-butoxy-omega-styrylo-ethoxy ethyl glycidyl ether) was syn thesized via the termination of the potassium t-butoxide initiated ani onic polymerization of ethoxy ethyl glycidyl ether with p-chloromethyl styrene. The macromonomer was copolymerized with styrene. Subsequent h ydrolysis of the copolymers leads to polystyrene - graft - polyglycido l. Poly(alpha-t-butoxy-omega-styrylo-glycidol), synthesized through th e hydrolysis of the macromonomer so obtained, acts as reactive emulsif ier (surfmer) in the emulsion copolymerization of styrene in water.
