Synthesis and Investigation of Properties of Vinylcontaining Silyllactams and Their Copolymers

Abstract The interactions of vinylorganochlorsilanes with lactams (∊-caprolactam, γ-pyrolidon) have been studied. New vinylcontaining N-silyllactams and aminosilanes have been synthesized and characterized, and the copolymerization reactions of N-vinyl-silyllactams with organic vinyl monomers (styrol, methyl- and butylmethacrylate, fluorine and silicium-containing methacrylate) have been carried out. The obtained copolymers were investigated by element analysis, IR- and NMR spectroscopic analyses, MMD. The results of these investigations have shown that the introduction of silicium-containing monomers into the main chain of polystyrols and polyacrylates causes their chemical modifications with improving thermostability, processability, etc.
