Kınetıcs of the copolymerızatıon reactıon of salıcylıc acıd allyl ester wıth maleıc anhydrıde

Abstract

Salicylic acid allyl ester is of interest in free-radical polymerization processes as a reactive monomer containing a functional phenolic group and an unsaturated allyl bond. The presence of both an aromatic fragment and a hydroxyl group in its molecular structure provides the resulting polymer chain with potential biological activity and opportunities for chemical modification. In this regard, its copolymerization with electron-acceptor type monomers is of particular significance.
