β¦ Synopsis
The methyl groups of soluble and 1% crossfinked poly(p-methylstyrene) were chlorinated in mixtures of chloroform and aqueous sodium hypochlorite that was neutralized to pH 8.4 with HCI, both in the presence and in the absence of the phase-transfer catalyst (P TC) benzyltriethylammonium chloride. With O. 6-1.8 tool of hypochlorite and O. 01-O. 02 tool of PTC per polymer repeat unit at room temperature a degree of functionalization (DF) of 0.10-0.6 of chloromethyl groups was attained. Similarly, bromination of 1% crosslinked poly(p-methylstyrene) with sodium hypobromite solution that was neutralized to pH 8.4 with HBr proceeded without any PTC to give a DF of 0.15-0.37 of bromomethyl groups. Selected chloromethyl polymers were esterified with the cesium salts of Boc-L-valine and Boc-L-phenylalanine. * Paper taken from the Ph.D. Dissertation of Altar

A poly(p-methylstyrene)-block-polyisoprene-block-poly(p-methyl styrene) thermoplastic elastomer was synthesized via anionic polymerization using n-butyllithium as an initiator. The sequential method used for the synthesis has resulted in a nearly monodispersed polymer with a polydispersity of 1.02.
Two series (S and F) of poly p-isopropyl ~-methylstyrene were characterized by viscometry, light scattering (LS), osmometry and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). S-samples were prepared by bulk anionic polymerization whereas F-samples were obtained on fractionation by preparative GPC of a polymer
The miscibility of poly(chloromethyl methacrylate) (PCMMA) with poly(Β£)-methylstyrene-co-acrylonitrile) (~MSAN) of various compositions was studied by differential scanning calbrimetry. PCM~A is miscible with ~MSAN over a composition range of ~3-42 wt% AN. The phase behaviour allows evaluation of tw
