STUDY OF THE TELOMERIZATION REACTION OF A TENSIOACTIVE ANIONIC MONOMER

The synthesis of a new anionic polymerizable surfactant is described. It is obtained by reaction between methacryloyl chloride and 5-phenyl-1-pentanol. In a last step, the aromatic group is alkylated with succinic anhydride in order to obtain an ionic group. All products were characterized by H-1 nuclear magnetic resonance and the transfer constant C(T) with C8H17C2H4SH and the ratio k(p)2/k(t) were determined. C(T) is in agreement with that of classical acrylates whereas k(p)2/k(t) is lower because of the long methacryloyl chain which reduces the propagation rate.
