Radical Reactivity and Q-e Values of Methyl α-(Trifluoromethy 1)acrylate
Abstract
Analogues of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) incorporating halogen atoms in the α-position or in the ester side group have recently attracted much attention as sensitive electron-beam positive resists. Ito et al. have reported that methyl α-(trifluoromethyl)acrylate(MTFMA) does not undergo radical homopolymerization but readily polymerizes bypyridine initiation due to the low electron density on the double bond. © 1984, American Chemical Society.
