Summary
A α,ω-di(methacryloyloxy)-polyisobutylene has been prepared in high purity and was crosslinked by heat or light. Heating to ∼95°C yielded ∼90% gel whereas illumination produced up to 80% gel. In the presence of AIBN gel formation was somewhat reduced. The swelling ratio of the network in benzene was much less than expected which indicates that an unusual network has formed.
