Abstract
This paper describes the synthesis and cation-radical polymerization of 1,5-bis(1-naphthoxy)-3-oxapentane. This monomer contains a flexible diethylene oxide unit between two 1-naphthalene rings. The FT-IR analysis of the resulted polymer indicates that it contains 1,4-disubstituted naphthalene structural units, i.e. 4,4′-disubstituted-1,1′-binaphthalene units. The polymer is crystalline with a melting point of 236 °C.
