Abstract

A silane-containing diamine, bis(p-aminophenoxy) diphenylsilane (BADPS), was prepared by the condensation of p-aminophenol with dichlorodiphenyl silane in the presence of triethylamine. Then, BADPS was condensed with 4,4-azobis(4-cyanopentanoyl chloride) to prepare macroazoinitiators containing silane units (Si–MAIs). A series of poly(methyl methacrylate) gels containing silane were derived by the solution free-radical crosslinking copolymerization of methyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate monomers initiated by these macroazoinitiators at a total monomer concentration of 6 mol/L and 80°C. Si–MAIs were characterized with 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, and the structural characteristics of the gels were also examined. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010
