Abstract

At 28° the spontaneous reactions of methylvinylidene cyanide (MVCN) with p-methoxystyrene, p-trimethylsiloxystyrene, styrene, isobutyl vinyl ether, ethyl vinyl ether and trimethylsilyl vinyl ether yielded alternating copolymers of potential interest as new piezoelectric materials. MVCN copolymerized with vinyl acetate in low yield using radical initiator and ZnCl2. Attempted homopolymerizations of MVCN with various initiators gave only low molecular weight oligomers, particularly trimers.
