Copolymerization of 3-Methylene-P-Menth-4(8)-Ene with Itaconic and Maleic Anhydrides
The title monomer was synthesized via a Wittig reaction on pugelone. Free radical initiated homopolymerization was attempted but no polymeric species were produced. Free radical initiated copolymerization of the title monomer with itaconic or maleic anhydride was attempted and low molecular weight polymers were produced in low yield. The copolymers were evaluated in film applications after curing with a diepoxide at elevated temperature.
