Abstract
Ethyl α-cyano-4-(methacryloxy)cinnamate was synthesized to prepare new photosensitive polymers. Homopolymerization and copolymerizations were carried out in solution in chloroform at 65 °C using AIBN as an initiator. Methyl methacrylate was chosen as comonomer for the studies of copolymerzation. The structures formed were characterized by IR and 1H NMR spectroscopies. The values of reactivity ratios of the comonomers calculated according to the Finneman–Ross method indicated that the reactivity of the synthesized photosensitive monomer is lower than that of MMA. Thin films of the obtained polymers were prepared to study their ability to crosslink under UV irradiation. The photodimerization of the cinnamate moieties was characterized.
