Vinyl-polymerizable monomer having tertiary hydroxyl group and polymer

摘要

The monomer of the present invention is represented by the following Formula 1: wherein X, R<1 >to R<3>, and m are as defined in the disclosure. The monomer is structurally characterized by the presence of a tertiary hydroxyl group and a vinyl-polymerizable group X and the absence of an ester linkage derived from a tertiary hydroxyl group. Polymers produced by the polymerization of the monomer and an optional comonomer have a moderated reactivity and hydrophilicity.
