Key Points

The aim is to synthesize α-methylated poly(vinyl alcohol)s using a novel approach involving boron monomers.
Radical copolymerization of vinyl- and isopropenyl-type boron monomers
Side-chain oxidation to modify the polymers
Controlled incorporation of monomers during synthesis
Successfully synthesized α-methylated poly(vinyl alcohol)s
Achieved properties not accessible through conventional methods
Demonstrated potential for enhanced material characteristics

Implication

Radical copolymerization creates novel α-methylated poly(vinyl alcohol)s, suggesting new synthesis methods.

Abstract

Radical copolymerization of vinyl- and isopropenyl-type boron monomers followed by side-chain oxidation enabled the synthesis of α-methylated poly(vinyl alcohol)s (PVAs), which are difficult to obtain by conventional methods. The composition...
