Vinylbenzylchloride (Chloromethylstyrene), Polymers, and Copolymers. Recent Reactions and Applications

Synthesis by a single‐step swelling process and characterization of micrometer‐sized polychloromethylstyrene/poly(butyl methacrylate) hemispherical composite particles of narrow size distribution

“…In contrast to PS, PCMS contains benzylic chlorine groups through which nucleophilic substitution reactions can be achieved for binding appropriate reagents. [35][36][37] Modified PCMS or related copolymers have been widely used in different processes as bactericide polymers, 38 photosensitizers, 39 solar energy storage units, 40 photoresists, 41 nonlinear optics, 42 and prodrugs for biomedical applications. 43 As a model, we chose to examine the preparation of uniform PCMS/PBMA composite particles by a single-step swelling process of PCMS template particles with BMA, followed by the polymerization of the BMA within the swollen template particles.…”

Synthesis of Some Silyl Mono- and Polystyrenes with New Properties

“…For example, various organosilyl groups were bound to a number of polymers and their properties were studied [7][8][9][10][11]. 4-Chloromethylstyrene (CMS), also called p-vinyl benzyl chloride (VBC), is a monomer that can be reacted with a series of reagents to produce polymer with functional groups [12,13]. In this work we synthesized some new silyl derivatives of styrene and studied their properties.…”

Modification of styrene polymer with organosilicon groups

“…For example, various organosilyl groups were bounded to a number of polymers and their properties were studied [8][9][10][11][12]. 4-Chloromethylstyrene (CMS), also called p-vinyl benzyl chloride (VBC), is a monomer that can be reacted with a series of reagents to produce polymer with functional groups [13,14]. This monomer can polymerize or copolymerize before or after the functional groups reaction with benzyl chloride.…”
