was synthesized.This compound bearing two functional groups such as methacrylate and diethylaminodithiocarbamyl groups can be used both as a monomer and a photoiniferter
respectively.Accordingly
MAEDCA belong to a monomer-iniferter.Poly-(methyl methacrylate) macromer (PMMA-macromer)was prepared by the photopolymeri-zation of MMA with a catalytic amount of MAEDCA as a photoiniferter.The monomer-iniferter and the PMMA-macromer were characterized by 1H-NMR
FT-IR
UV spectroscopies and elemental analysis. The further experiment showed that the PMMA-macromer can co-polymerize with styrene initiated by AIBN at 60℃.
