Abstract

We have undertaken the preparation of a series of 2-alkylbutadienes in order to determine the reactivities of such dienes in the copolymerization reaction, 2 and to study the effects of side-chain alkyl groups, both straight and branched, upon the physical properties of diene polymers. Crys-tallization of the polymeric backbone and of the side chain are of special interest. Thus, the long alkyl side chains in a polymer of hexadecyl acrylatea results in ...
