Electroinitiated Polymerization of Allylphenylether
Electroinitiated polymerization of allylphenylether via constant potential electrolysis was accomplished in acetonitrile at room temperature. Electroinitiated polymerization of the monomer yielded insoluble polymers on the surface of the anode together with soluble polymers in the bulk solution. The structural analyses of the polymers were done by H-1-NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. H-1-NMR results showed that monosubstituted aromatic ring of the monomer becomes tri-substituted during the electroinitiated polymerization. The effect of monomer concentration and applied potential on the rate of electroinitiated polymerization were also studied.
