Abstract

Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and ethylene glycol methacrylate 4-vinyl benzoate (EGMAVB) were shown to form 1:1 inclusion complexes with cyclodextrin and were characterized by instrumental techniques. Computational analysis showed that the bent conformation of the included divinyl monomer was more stable than its linear conformation. Complexation of the divinyl monomer with the first CD molecule offered substantial stabilization than with the second CD molecule. The vinyl group included in the CD cavity did not participate in polymerization. As a result, solvent soluble, linear polymers with pendant vinyl unsaturation per repeat unit were obtained. This was unequivocally established by the polymerization of a complex comprising CD and EGMAVB. The unreacted vinyl group can be polymerized in the subsequent step to yield cross-linked products.
