| Research Abstract |
Vinyl ethers cannot be inherently polymerized via radical mechanism. In contrast, the vinyl ethers can be polymerized into high molecular weight products only by cationic polymerizations. The cationic polymerization is known to be influenced by the presence of nucleophiles such as water and monomer with a hydroxyl group. However, the vinyl ether with a hydroxyl group is an interesting monomer with the potential to polymerize by radical process. This is because the electron density of the vinyl moiety in vinyl ethers is changed by the hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl group and the ether of the monomer. Thus, direct radical polymerization using the vinyl ether having a hydroxyl group was investigated in this project as the basis of precision radical polymerization of non-radically polymerizable monomers.
