Allylation poly(vinyl chloride) and further functionalization of allyl groups

摘要

The preparation of allylated poly(vinyl chloride) by utilizing an allyltrialkylsilane in the presence of Friedel-Crafts acids is disclosed. The pendant allyl groups can be further reacted through various functionalization reactions to contain end groups such as epoxy. A method for determination of the labile chlorine content of poly(vinyl chloride) is also disclosed.
