Amphiphilic Copolymers of Glycidol with Nonpolar Epoxide Comonomers

摘要

To explore the industrially used copolymerization of glycidol with other epoxide species, a series of copolymers of glycidol with various comonomers (epichlorohydrin, isopropyl glycidyl ether, 1,2-epoxybutane, propylene oxide, and glycidyl phenyl ether) has been synthesized by cationic ring-opening polymerization in dichloromethjane, using boron trifluoride diethyl etherate as the initiator.
