Description

Cyclohexylmaleimide is a cationic monomer that can be used to synthesize polymers. It reacts with hydroxyl groups and protonates the carbonyl group in the presence of a base. Cyclohexylmaleimide is soluble in nonpolar solvents, such as trifluoroacetic acid, and is resistant to radiation. Cyclohexylmaleimide polymerizes by free-radical cationic polymerization with an activation energy of 30 kJ/mol. The reaction mechanism involves the abstraction of a hydrogen atom from the hydroxyl group followed by a nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon atom. Monomers are formed through the addition of another equivalent of cyclohexylmaleimide to the reaction solution at high temperatures or by irradiation at low temperatures. Cyclohexylmaleimide has been shown to have thermal expansion properties, which may be due to its ability to form cross-
