Abstract:The synthesis of four different monofunctional vinyl cyclopropane (VCP) amides and their photopolymerization behavior are presented. All VCPs can form hydrogen bonds, with one being the amide linkage of the VCP unit and the other one being the side chain. The number of additional hydrogen bonds is regulated by the different side chains being, carbonate, urethane, urea, and amide. Hydrogen bonds should lead to a preorganization of the monomers, leading to a fast polymerization. Kinetic studies of the photopolym… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
