Abstract
Photopolymerizable multifunctional methacrylic monomers were prepared by two-step ring[1]opening reaction of n-butanol, maleic anhydride and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). The structure of multifunctional methacrylate monomers with different functional groups were characterized by FT-IR and 1H-NMR. The photopolymerization kinetics of multifunctional methacrylate monomers with different functional groups was studied by real time FTIR. The results indicated that storage modulus, glass transition temperature and thermal stability all increased with the increase of functional groups.
