A new bis(perfluorocyclohexane carbonyl) peroxide was prepared by the reaction of the corresponding acyl fluoride and hydrogen peroxide. This peroxide was applicable for the direct introduction of perfluorocyclohexyl group into various organic molecules such as acrylic acid oligomer, benzene and polystyrene; in particular interest, not only equatorial but also axial conformational isomers were isolated in phenylperfluorocyclohexane thus obtained.

New radical processes to obtain block and graft copolymers were developed by using special organic peroxides. Polymeric peroxides excelling in safety and solubility were newly prepared. PM 1 having OO bonds in its chain was prepared by polymerization of M 1 with polymeric peroxide, and M 2 was polymerized with PM 1 to provide PM 1 - b -PM 2 . A monomer having an OO bond was copolymerized with M 1 at a temperature below the decomposition temperature of the OO bond and PM 1 having pendant OO bonds was obtained. M 2 was addition-polymerized to pendant OO bonds to get PM 1 - g -PM 2 . Vinyl polymers having OO bonds were thermally mixed in an extruder with polyolefins and polyolefin- g -vinyl polymer was obtained by the reactive processing.

Various methacrylic esters with and without hetero atoms in their pendant ester groups were polymerized in toluene or in THF at −78°C using n-BuLi LiAlH4, or i-BuMgBr as an initiator. By comparing the isotacticities of the resultant polymers using the NMR spectral method, the influence of the hetero atom in the pendant ester group of the monomer on polymer stereoregularity was clarified. The experiments showed that the isotacticities of those polymers containing nitrogen or oxygen atoms in their side chains were lower than the isotacticites of those not containing such atoms. On the basis of these results the assumption was made that such depressing effects in isotactic propagation were caused by Lewis basicity of the nitrogen or oxygen atoms in the pendant ester groups. Furthermore, the effect of THF added to the polymerization reaction mixture, the effects of monomer concentration, the number of carbon atoms between the hetero atom and ester oxygen, and of the counter cation, all substantiated this assumption. The effect of hetero atoms on the syndiotacticities of the resultant polymers was also briefly studied.

The tacticities of poly(glycidyl methacrylate) prepared by radical polymerization at temperatures in the range from −78 to 60°C in several solvents or in bulk are described. The redox system diisopropylperoxy dicarbonate/dimethylaniline was found to polymerize this monomer effectively even at low temperature. The tacticities were determined by NMR spectroscopy. The difference of entropy Δ(ΔS1 ) and enthalpy Δ(ΔH1) of activation between isotactic and syndiotactic propagations were calculated. The values of Δ(ΔH1) were found not to be affected essentially by polymerization conditions and to be slightly larger than that of methyl methacrylate polymerization. Die Taktizitaten von Poly(glycidylmethacrylaten), die radikalisch im Temperaturbereich von −78 bis 60°C in einigen Losungsmitteln und in Substanz polymerisiert wurden werden beschrieben. Selbst bei niedrigerer Temperatur ist das Redoxsystem Diisopropylperoxydicarbonat/Dimethylanilin beim Monomeren wirksam. Die Taktizitaten der Polymeren werden mittels NMR-Spektren bestimmt. Die Entropie- und Enthalpiedifferenzen der Aktivierung des isotaktischen und syndiotaktischen Wachstums (Δ(ΔS1) bzw. Δ(ΔH1)) werden berechnet. Die Werte fur Δ(ΔH1) werden durch die Polymerisationsbedingungen nicht merkbar beeinflust und sind etwas groser als jene fur die Methacrylsauremethylesterpolymerisation.
