Polymerization of chloro-p-xylylenes, quantum-chemical study
PublikacjaThe p-xylylene monomers of parylene N, C and D have similar high polymerization reactivity. For effective copolymerization processes this fact is basically a draw- back and for instance the copolymerization with styrene doesn't go at all (Corley et al. J Pol Sc 13(68):137156, 1954). Substitution of terminal hydrogen atoms by chlorine atoms reduces reactivity dramatically. 7,7,8,8-tetrachloro-p- xylylene and 2,5,7,7,8,8-hexachloro-p-xylylene...
