Radical copolymerization of p-(2,2-dichlorocyclopropyl)styrene with glycidyl methacrylate and properties of the polymer obtained

Copolymer of p-(2,2-dichlorocyclopropyl)styrene with glycidyl methacrylate was prepared by radical copolymerization of the monomers. The copolymerization constants and Alfrey–Price Q–e parameters were calculated. The photosensitivity of materials based on the synthesized copolymer was evaluated. Photochemical cross-linking of the copolymer containing photosensitive groups ( Open image in new window , ∇) in the macromolecule was studied. The copolymer exhibits relatively high photosensitivity (54 cm2 J–1) and can be used for preparing negative resists.
