SYNTHESIS AND EVALUATION OF POLYMERS WITH SPECIAL PROPERTIES,

Abstract

Further attempts were made to replace the acidic hydrogen of the terminal acetylene groups of the acrylate monomers using propargyl acrylate as the key reactant. High dilution techniques and various reaction solvents were to be used in order to ascertain the feasibility of replacing the acidic hydrogen with various other groups. Due to the appearance of a number of articles dealing with the addition of decaborane to acetylenic bonds, it was decided to further explore this phase of the project. Efforts would be made to repeat some of the syntheses reported in these articles in order to apply the described techniques to this project, and to develop techniques applicable to the purification of a polymer containing the carborane nucleus. Also, an attempt would be made to prepare 1-acryloxy, 1-ethynyl cyclohexane, a new moner containing a terminal acetylene group. (Author)
