Abstract
This invention relates to latent thiol monomers and their use in the synthesis of polymers. In addition, this invention relates to novel polymers and graft copolymers formed with these latent thiol monomers.
Claims2
A polymer comprising polymerized units of at least one latent thiol monomer selected from the group consisting of allyl 3-mercaptopropionate thioacetate, (S-benzoyl-3-mercapto-2-hydroxypropyl)-2-methyl-2-propenoate, (S-2,2-dimethylpropanoyl-3-mercapto-2-hydroxypropyl)-2-methyl-2-propenoate , (S-acetyl-3-mercapto-2-acetylpropyl)-2-methyl-2-propenoate, (S-acetyl-3-mercapto-2-hydroxypropyl)-2-methyl-2-propenoate, (S-acetyl-3-mercapto-2-acetoacetylpropyl)-2-methyl-2-propenoate, (S-acetyl-3-mercapto-2-tetrahydropyranyl)-2-methyl-2-propenoate, (S-acetyl-3-mercapto-2-(2-methoxy-2-propoxy))-2-methyl-2-propenoate, (S-acetyl-2-mercapto-3-acetylpropyl)-2-methyl-2-propenoate, S-acetyl-(1-allyloxy-3-mercapto-2-hydroxypropane), S-benzoyl-(1-allyloxy-3-mercapto-2-hydroxypropane) and S-2,2-dimethylpropanoyl-(1-allyloxy-3-mercapto-2-hydroxypropane), and, optionally, at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer.
