Abstract

The mechanism of forming the macromonomer based on ɛ-caprolactone and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate under the effect of dibutyltin dilaurate has been investigated. The molecular-mass characteristics and the functional-type distribution of the macromonomer have been determined. It has been established that, as the concentration of the methacrylic component is increased, the contribution of side reactions related to its anionic polymerization rises. It has been shown that macromonomers with caprolactone backbones and terminal methacrylic and hydroxyl groups may be obtained. A method has been proposed for the purification of polymerization products from low-molecular-mass impurities, such as dimethacrylates and diols.
