Abstract

A series of new monomers of 2, 5-bis [(3, 4, 5-trialkoxy benzyl) oxycarbonyl] styrene (denoted as M-tri-OCmH2m+ 1, m= 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, where m indicated the number of carbon atoms in the alkoxy group) were designed and synthesized. Then, their corresponding polymers P-tri-OCmH2m+ 1 (m= 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) were synthesized by free radical polymerization. The chemical structure of the monomers was confirmed by ...
