Abstract

Six poly(2,2-diphenylethyl methacrylate) samples, with relatively low polydispersity index (M_w/M_n: 1.2-1.4) and M_w ranging from 14.4 × 10⁴ to 184.4 × 10⁴, were prepared by free-radical polymerization and fractionation. The dilute solution properties of the samples were studied by low-angle laser-light scattering in THF at 25°C and viscometry in a thermodynamically good solvent (toluene at 25°C) and in a Θ-solvent (p-xylene at 22°C). Differential scanning calorimetry was used for the T_g determination. The results are compared with those reported for poly (2-phenylethyl methacrylate) and poly (diphenylmethyl methacrylate).
