New Functional Methacrylate Polymers by Anionic Polymerization

  • Chapter
New Monomers and Polymers

Part of the book series: Polymer Science and Technology ((POLS,volume 25))

Abstract

In the early 1960’s, subsequent to the pioneering work of M. Szwarc on the living anionic polymerization of styrene and butadiene, extensive research on the anionic polymerization of methacrylate esters was undertaken by D. L. Glusker, W. E. Goode, R. K. Graham and co-workers of the Rohm and Haas Company laboratories. Their work was augmented by that of D. M. Wiles and S. Bywater of the National Research Council of Canada during the same era, and related studies subsequently issued from many laboratories. (For leading references see Ref. 1.)
