Controls and Effects of Monomer Junctions and Sequences in Curable and Degradable Polyarylate Containing Acrylate Moieties.

In contrast to solution polymerization, interfacial polymerization of α-(chloromethyl)acryloyl chloride and bisphenol Z results in fast esterification and slow ether formation, affording regulated monomer junctions. The controlled structure increases the crystallinity of the resulting polymers. In addition, terpolymerization with dicarboxylic acid chloride results in controlled monomer sequences with uniformly distributed acrylate moieties, leading to efficient curability.
