Methanol → Diphenylmethylsilyl methacrylate dimethylbenzyl methacrylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Diphenylmethylsilyl methacrylate and dimethylbenzyl methacrylate were mixed at a mixing ratio of 1:1 so as to form a toluene solution having a monomer concentration of 5 mol/liter. Next, 2 mol %, on the basis of the monomer, of AIBN was added to the mixture, and the mixture was retained in an oil bath at 80° C. for 8 hours with stirring. Then, the mixture was left standing at room temperature to cool, and the reaction product was diluted with toluene. The toluene solution was dropped into large quantities of methanol, and the resulting precipitate was filtered and then dried to obtain a diphenylmethylsilyl methacrylate/dimethylbenzyl methacrylate copolymer represented by the following formula, at a yield of 88%. The molecular weight was 20,000 and the dispersion was 1.74. ##STR15## wherein each of m and n is a positive integer.
