Carbon-chain ferrocene-fluoro-containing (co)polymers are synthesized by the free-radical polymerization of 1-trifluoromethyl-1-ferrocenyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate and its copolymerization with methyl methacrylate in organic solvents and supercritical carbon dioxide.

A number of new ionic vinyl monomers composed of 1-vinylimidazolium cation with diethoxy- and dihydroxyphosphoryl groups and various anions—Br−, (CN)2N−, and (CF3SO2)2N−—are synthesized. The free-radical polymerization of the monomers in solutions of molecular and ionic solvents yields new polymer analogs of ionic liquids, and their molecular-mass characteristics, solubility, heat resistance, thermal stability, and electrical conductivity are estimated. It is shown that the incorporation of bulky phosphorylalkyl side substituents into the vinylimidazolium polycation causes a decrease in the glass-transition temperature and an increase in the ionic conductivity of polymer salts. The highest ionic conductivity (2.6 × 10−5 S/cm at 25°C) is exhibited by the polymer with the (CN)2N− anion.

High-molecular-mass polymers ( M w up to 2.2 × 10 6 ) have been synthesized by the free-radical polymerization of 5-vinyl-and 2-methyl-5-vinyltetrazoles in ionic liquids with 1,3-dialkylimidazolium and tetraalkylphosphonium cations. Effects of the structure of monomers, the nature of ionic solvents, and the conditions of polymerization on the yield and molecular mass of poly( C -vinyltetrazoles) are studied. The structure and thermal characteristics of the polymers are examined. It has been shown that the incorporation of the methyl substituent at the second position of the 5-vinyltetrazoel heterocycle in ionic media gives rise to higher molecular mass polymers and improves their solubility.

Four vinyl monomers containing a covalently bonded cation ethylimidazolium and various anions—Br − , (CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 N − , (CN) 2 N − , and CF 3 SO 3 − —have been synthesized. High-molecular-mass polymers ( M w up to 1.84 × 10 6 ) having the structure of ionic liquids have been prepared via the free-radical polymerization of 1-vinyl-3-ethylimidazolium in bulk and molecular and ionic solvents. The thermal stability and heat resistance of the resulting polymer salts have been estimated. It has been demonstrated that the thermal characteristics of these salts significantly depend on the nature of anions. The glass-transition temperatures of the polymers range from 19 to 235°C. The ionic conductivity of the polymer salts and their compositions with individual ionic liquids has been studied in the frequency range 50–10 6 Hz. The highest conductivity (1.5 × 10 −5 S/cm) is exhibited by the polymer containing the (CN) 2 N − anion.

The free-radical polymerization of acrylonitrile and its copolymerization with methyl methacrylate in ionic liquids based on 1,3-dialkyl-substituted imidazole were studied.

An efficient method for methyl methacrylate radical polymerization by tri-n-propyl-, triisopropyl-, and triisobutylborane ammonia complexes, including the addition of a boron-containing initiating agent into the monomer in air, was developed. An advantage of this method is that the reaction occurs at room temperature, requires no peroxide components, and leads to polymers with enhanced thermal stability.
