Abstract
The synthesis of block terpolymers of N-methyl methacrylamide (NMeMA) with styrene (St) and isoprene (Is) [poly(NMeMa-b-St-b-Is) and poly(NM eMA-b-Is-b-St)] was achieved by using heterogeneous living radical pol ymerization (di-t-butylperoxide-UV, benzene) and high vacuum technique s. The existence of living macroradicals was detected by electron para magnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The terpolymers were not solubl e in common organic solvents. The formation of polymeric blocks was co nfirmed by modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC) and IR s pectroscopy. (C) 1998 Society of Chemical Industry.
