The oxidative coupling of alkenes which have two substituents at the 2 posi-tion, such as isobutylene, styrene, 2-phenylpropene, 1,1-diphenylethylene, and methyl methacrylate, takes place to give the 1,1,4.4-tetrasubstituted butadienes 285 by the action of Pd(OAc)2 or PdCF in the presence of sodium acetate[255-257]. Oxidation of styrene with Pd(OAc)2 produces 1.4-diphenylbutadiene (285, R = H) as a main product and a- and /3-acetoxystyrenes as minor pro-ducts[258]. Prolonged oxidation of the primary coupling product 285 (R = Me) of 2-phenylpropene with an excess of Pd(OAc)2 leads slowly to p-... 

Poly(acrylic acid) and Poly(methacrylic acid). Poly(acryHc acid) (8) (PAA) may be prepared by polymerization of the monomer with conventional free-radical initiators using the monomer either undiluted (36) (with cross-linker for superadsorber appHcations) or in aqueous solution. Photochemical polymerization (sensitized by benzoin) of methyl acrylate in ethanol solution at —78° C provides a syndiotactic form (37) that can be hydrolyzed to syndiotactic PAA. From academic studies, alkaline hydrolysis of the methyl ester requires a lower time than acid hydrolysis of the polymeric ester, and can lead to oxidative degradation of the polymer (38). Po1y(meth acrylic acid) (PMAA) (9) is prepared only by the direct polymerization of the acid monomer it is not readily obtained by the hydrolysis of methyl methacrylate. 

A number of activated olefinic compounds react very weU in this scheme including methacrylates, crotonates, acrylonitrile, and vinyl ketones. These reactions are typicaHy mn in an etherial solvent and can be mn without the complications of undesirable side reactions leading to trialkylated tin species. 

The vast majority of commercial apphcations of methacryhc acid and its esters stem from their facile free-radical polymerizabiUty (see Initiators, FREE-RADICAl). Solution, suspension, emulsion, and bulk polymerizations have been used to advantage. Although of much less commercial importance, anionic polymerizations of methacrylates have also been extensively studied. Strictiy anhydrous reaction conditions at low temperatures are required to yield high molecular weight polymers in anionic polymerization. Side reactions of the propagating anion at the ester carbonyl are difficult to avoid and lead to polymer branching and inactivation (38—44). 

Organometahic methacrylate monomers containing tin, sihcon, germanium, lead, and titanium have become available in at least laboratory research quantities (65). 

Polymerization and Spinning Solvent. Dimethyl sulfoxide is used as a solvent for the polymerization of acrylonitrile and other vinyl monomers, eg, methyl methacrylate and styrene (82,83). The low incidence of transfer from the growing chain to DMSO leads to high molecular weights. Copolymerization reactions of acrylonitrile with other vinyl monomers are also mn in DMSO. Monomer mixtures of acrylonitrile, styrene, vinyUdene chloride, methallylsulfonic acid, styrenesulfonic acid, etc, are polymerized in DMSO—water (84). In some cases, the fibers are spun from the reaction solutions into DMSO—water baths. 

Acrylic and methacrylic acids and their esters are highly versatile materials in that the acid and ester side groups can partake in a variety of reactions to produce a very large number of polymerisable monomers. One particularly interesting approach is that in which two methacrylic groupings are linked together so that there are two, somewhat distant, double bonds in the molecule. In these cases it is possible to polymerise through each of these double bonds separately and this will lead eventually to a cross-linked network structure. 

Whilst the aliphatic nylons are generally classified as being impact resistant, they are affected by stress concentrators like sharp comers which may lead to brittle failures. Incorporation of mbbers which are not soluble in the nylons and hence form dispersions of rubber droplets in the polyamide matrix but which nevertheless can have some interaction between mbber and polyamide can be most effective. Materials described in the literature include the ethylene-propylene rubbers, ionomers (q.v.), polyurethanes, acrylates and methacrylates, ABS polymers and polyamides from dimer acid. 

The presence of sulphonic and carboxylic groups enables the iron ions to be in the vicinity of the cellulose backbone chain. In this case, the radicals formed can easily attack the cellulose chain leading to the formation of a cellulose macroradical. Grafting of methyl methacrylate on tertiary aminized cotton using the bi-sulphite-hydrogen peroxide redox system was also investigated [58]. 

The macroazoinimer obtained by the end capping reaction of polyazoester with a diizocyanate and hy-droxyethyl methacrylate was used in wood impregnation leading to the one-shot polymerization of styrene thermally [50]. 

The reaction of AIBN with formaldehyde leads to units, styrene, and methyl methacrylate blocks were ob-...
