Summary

Living poly(tetrahydrofuran) (PTHF) was coupled with sodium p-vinylbenzyloxide quantitatively to prepare a macromer of p-vinylbenzyloxyl poly(tetrahydrofuran) (VBO-PTHF). The radical polymerization of the macromer with AIBN was performed. From the GPC measurement the conversion of the macromer to poly-macromer was shown to be high percentage, but the degree of polymerization of poly-macromer was much lower than that expected in the case of regular monomers such as styrene.
