Butyl Acrylate → alpha-Methylene-gamma-butyrolactone n-butyl acrylate acrylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Similar to Example 51, with the following exception: 3.390 g (3.46×10−2 mol) α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone and 1.075 g (8.39×10−3 mol) n-butyl acrylate were used in the monomer mixture, yielding a polymer with a glass transition temperature of 145° C. Comparison to the Fox equation suggests the statistical copolymer contains approximately 11% n-butyl acrylate repeat units.
