Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of reactive monomers as plasticizers in copolymers. The invention further relates to copolymers obtainable by using the reactive monomers. The present invention moreover relates to processes for the lowering of the glass transition temperature of copolymers with use of the reactive monomers.
Claims17
A process for lowering of a glass transition temperature of a copolymer comprising adding, during a polymerization reaction, an effective quantity, based on an entire composition of monomers used, of from 0.1 to 50% by weight, of a compound of general formula (I)
- where
- R1, R2, R3 are mutually independently, being identical or different, H or —CH3,
- X is O or C1-C4alkoxylene,
- R4 is CH2—CH2—CH2—CH2—,
- R5, R6 are mutually independently, being identical or different, H, C1-C5-alkyl, or aryl,
- R7 is H or C1-C6-alkyl, and
- n is an integer from 0 to 200.
