Abstract

The copolymerization of styrene with furfuryl methacrylate (FMA) led to a very significant molecular weight increase and to branching, as measured by standard gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and tri‐angle laser light‐scattering GPC. This increase was also confirmed by dynamic mechanical spectroscopy. Extensional viscosity analysis showed that styrene‐co‐2‐furfuryl methacrylate copolymers exhibited strain hardening at low strain rates. This strain hardening is explained as a result of the copolymers' polydispersity features rather than a result of their topology. The presence of strain hardening in extensional viscosity experiments is believed to be advantageous in the production of foamed materials with lower densities. A reduction in density was corroborated by foaming experiments on a development extrusion line. The mechanism of density lowering was related more to cell growth than to increased nucleation. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 98: 1062–1071, 2005

## Abstract Crosslinked poly[styrene‐__co__‐(furfuryl methacrylate)] has been produced by the Diels–Alder (D‐A) reaction between the furan ring (within the copolymer) and the maleimide (MI) group (within the other reactant, bismaleimide). The retro D‐A reaction was followed by the analysis of MI gr
