Summary

Nitroxide-terminated poly(p-tert-butoxystyrene), poly(p-acetoxystyrene), and poly(p-tert-butoxycarbonyloxystyrene) were synthesized by a ‘living’ radical polymerization technique. C60-bearing polymers were obtained by the reaction of C60 with nitroxide-terminated polymers. Transformation of the precursor polymers into C60-bearing poly(vinyl phenol) was carried out by UV (254 nm) irradiation of the films of the C60-bearing precursor polymers in the presence of a photoacid generator and followed by post-exposure baking. The transformation was confirmed by the appearance of O-H stretching in IR spectra. C60-bearing poly(vinyl phenol) showed the some solubility in solvents as observed for poly(vinyl phenol).
