New crosslinking agents for vinyl polymers

摘要

AbstractThe synthesis of diallyl esters of linear dicarboxylic acids, and their use as multifunctional crosslinking agents for vinyl polymers, was studied. The number of carbon atoms in the chains of the diacids used varied from 2 to 10 in order to define the effect of the chemical structure on the reactivity of the crosslinkers prepared. Measurements of swelling in chloroform were performed to determine the average molecular weight between crosslinks, thus making an overall evaluation of the crosslinking efficiency. Sorption experiments were also carried out, using aqueous ethanol.
