The polymerization behavior of N ‐( p ‐vinyl)phenylacrylamide, synthesized from p ‐aminostyrene and acryloyl chloride by means of the Schotten‐Baumann reaction was studied. Due to a marked difference in electron density between the two double bonds, this monomer provided soluble polymers by both cationic and anionic polymerization procedures, the cationic and anionic polymers mainly carrying, as side chains, the acrylamide and styrene moieties, respectively. The polymerization behavior of the residual double bonds was also investigated for both polymers, leading to crosslinked, insoluble products.
