Abstract
Free radical polymerization of both alpha-(trifluoromethyl)acrylic aci d (TFMAA) and its methyl ester MTFMA is shown to be possible in the pr esence of bis(4-tert-butylcyclohexyl) peroxycarbonate (Percadox) as in itiator and dioxane or THF as solvent. Also it is shown that copolymer s of TFMAA with alpha-olefins (1-decene, 2-methyl-1-hexene) and of met hyl alpha-(trifluoromethyl)acrylate (MTFMA) with vinyl ethers (butyl, 2-ethylhexyl, and menthyl vinyl ether) can be simply obtained with AIB N as initiator; these copolymers have a predominantly alternating stru cture.
