Abstract
A butyl methacrylate oligomer with furan end‐groups was synthesized by ozonolysing a poly(butyl methacrylate‐co‐butadiene) latex. The end‐groups of this oligomer were amidated with aminomethylfuran to give a coagulated mass of derivatized oligomers. This furan functional oligomer was then mixed with poly(ethylene oxide‐co‐acetylenedicarboxylate) and heated at 60°C or 125°C. The material cured at 125°C was found to contain a higher gel fraction (55 wt.‐%) than that cured at 60°C (30 wt.‐%).
