Abstract:A new monomer, 1,2,3‐tris(ethoxycarbonyl)‐2‐propyl acrylate (TPA), was synthesized by reaction of acryloyl chloride and triethyl citrate. The homopolymer of TPA and its copolymers with acrylic acid (AA), vinyl acetate (VAc) and maleic anhydride (MAH) were prepared by polymerization using lauroyl peroxide (LPO) at 70 °C for 24 h. The structures of TPA and its polymers were identified by FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopies, and elemental analysis. The number average molecular weights and polydispersity indices … Show more
