Copolymerization of 2-Methacryloxytropone with Methyl-Methacrylate and Ethyl Acrylate
2-Methacryloxytropone was synthesized via reported methods and it’s free radical initiated copolymerization with methyl methacrylate or ethyl acrylate was investigated. The 2-methacryloxytropone was found to be the more reactive monomer in both cases, however the difference in reactivity was more pronounced in the ethyl acrylate case.
