PROCESS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF POLYMERS AND COPOLYMERS BASED ON VINYL CHLOROFORMATE

摘要

The invention relates to processes for the synthesis of polymers from vinyl chloroformate. According to the invention, the reaction is preferably carried out at between 15 and 40.degree.C, in the presence of 0.01 to 2 mol% of a cyclocliphatic percarbonate, relative to the vinyl chloroformate. The resulting homopolymers and copolymers are useful, in particular, as transparent materials and reactive support polymers which can be used in the pharmaceutical, photographic or foodstuffs industry and also in the manufacture of dyestuffs.
