Synthesis and polymerization ofN-(4-tetrahydropyranyl-oxyphenyl)maleimide

Thermal Properties of N-Phenylmaleimide-Isobutene Alternating Copolymers Containing Polar Groups to Form Intermolecular and Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding

“…For example, thermally stable polymers were synthesized by the polymerization of N-(hydroxyphenyl)-, N-(carboxyphenyl)-, and N-(trifluoromethylphenyl)maleimides, but they were insoluble or had a very limited solubility in solvents. 4,[15][16][17] In 1996, Doi and coworkers reported that the alternating copolymerization of N-alkylmaleimides (RMI) with isobutene (IB) [poly(RMI-alt-IB)] produces high molecular weight copolymers with excellent thermal properties, as well as excellent mechanical and optical properties. [18][19][20][21] Poly(RMI-alt-IB)s are soluble in a larger number of organic solvents and had a moderate softening temperature.…”

Copolymerization of 2,2-Diallyl-1,1,3,3-tetraethylquanidinium Chloride with N-(4-Acetylphenyl)maleimide

“…It is known that N-substituted maleimides homopolymerize according to the radical mechanism [2,3] and are involved in copolymerization with styrene [4][5][6][7][8][9], butadiene [4], (meth) acrylic acid and its esters [4,11], vinyl ethers [10][11][12], and vinylketones [13]. In copolymerization with electron-donor monomers, they, being electron acceptors, form copolymers with a high tendency of monomer units toward alternation [4,9,11,12].…”

End-Functionalized Polymers and Junction-Functionalized Diblock Copolymers Via RAFT Chain Extension with Maleimido Monomers

“…These applications would benefit from more efficient chemistries for spatially controlled ω (or Z)-end conjugations, and here, we describe a technique for functionalizing the ω -terminal end of RAFT polymers by chain extension using N-substituted maleimides. Maleimido monomers readily undergo copolymerization with other species but do not efficiently homopolymerize under typical RAFT conditions (46–50). We show that this property can be exploited in a block polymerization in order to add a single amine-substituted maleimido unit to the end of a RAFT polymer.…”
