Acrylic rubbers polymerization chemistry

The second part of this symposium, conducted jointly by the Division of Rubber Chemistry and the Division of Polymer Chemistry of the American Chemical Society, was devoted to methods for measuring the tacticity and the kinetics of polymerization of a variety of materials such as the higher aldehydes, polypropylene oxide, and 4-methylpentene-l. High resolution nuclear magnetic resonance has been particularly valuable in characterizing the structures of polyacetaldehyde and polyisopropyl acrylate.

Negative photoresist chemistry. A. Cross-linking of a prolyisoprene rubber by a photoreactive bisazide. B. A radical induced polymerization and cross-linking of an acrylate monomer. C. A single component resist. Electron beam irradiation produces anions that launch a cascade of epoxide ring-opening reactions to cross-link the poljrmer.
