Abstract: | The polymerization of p-(iodomethyl)styrene (PIMS) yields well-defined branched polymers with reactive iodomethyl groups. The branched polyp-(iodomethyl)styrene] was used as the transfer agent in the iodine mediated radical polymerization of vinyl monomers. The polymerization proceeds in a controlled way and yields polystyrene and poly(t-butyl acrylate) star polymers with reactive groups at the end of their arms. Polymers so obtained were also used to prepare stars with block copolymer arms: polystyrene-block-poly(t-butyl acrylate). The characterization of star structures was performed by NMR and gel permeation chromatography with absolute molar mass detection (MALLS). Preliminary characterization of the thermal properties of these novel materials is reported. |
