Methods for the synthesis of polymers and polymers obtained thereof

A method of synthesizing sprayable polymers, the method comprising steps of:

• a. Reacting, in a reaction vessel, a composition comprising a monomeric and/or polymeric composition comprising at least one monomer comprising at least two electron-withdrawing groups, wherein at least one of said electron-withdrawing groups is an ester, and a solvent in a relation monomeric and/or polymeric composition:solvent from 1:4 to 1:20 w/w;
• b. adding a microporous material in an amount of about 0.1%-5% based on the total weight of the monomer at a temperature in the range of room temperature to solvent boiling temperature;
• and
• c. stirring until a conversion rate ≥98% measured by NMR is achieved.

A method for the synthesis of polymers for use in polymer-based formulations, the method comprising steps of:

• a. reacting, in a reaction vessel, a monomeric and/or polymeric composition comprising at least one monomer comprising at least two electron-withdrawing groups, wherein at least one of said electron-withdrawing groups is an ester, and a solvent mixture in a relation monomeric and/or polymeric composition:solvent mixture of 1:4 to 1:20 w/w;
• b. adding a microporous material in an amount of about 1-20% based on the total weight of the monomer at a temperature in the range of room temperature to solvent boiling temperature;
• c. stirring until a conversion rate ≥98% is achieved;
• and
• d. removing the microporous material.
