Loshaek, S. published an article in 1955, the title of the article was Cross-linked polymers. II. Glass temperatures of copolymers of methyl methacrylate and glycol dimethacrylates.Formula: C13H20O4 And the article contains the following content:
cf. C.A. 47, 11800h. Glass temperatures (Tg) were determined for copolymers of Me methacrylate and from 0 to 100% of the dimethacrylates of ethylene glycol (I), decamethylene glycol (II), and 2-ethyl-2-butyl-1,3-propanediol (III), and for copolymers containing 0-17 mole % of the dimethacrylate of 2,2-dimethylpropanediol. Maximum were observed in the Tg-mole fraction of dimethacrylate for the II and III copolymers. The results were considered to be caused by changes in both average copolymer composition and degree of cross-linking. The former was evaluated for I from the observed Tg-composition relation for copolymers of Me methacrylate with ethylene glycol monomethacrylate monoisobutyrate. Assuming additivity, cross-linking alone was found to increase Tg linearly with the degree of cross-linking, the proportionality constant being of the same order of magnitude as reported for styrenedivinylbenzene copolymers (cf. preceding abstract). The magnitude of the increase in Tg was independent of the nature of the cross-linking agent. The experimental process involved the reaction of 2,2-Dimethylpropane-1,3-diyl bis(2-methylacrylate)(cas: 1985-51-9).Formula: C13H20O4
2,2-Dimethylpropane-1,3-diyl bis(2-methylacrylate)(cas:1985-51-9) belongs to ethers. Oxygen is more electronegative than carbon, thus the alpha hydrogens of ethers are more acidic than those of simple hydrocarbons. They are far less acidic than alpha hydrogens of carbonyl groups (such as in ketones or aldehydes), however. Formula: C13H20O4
