A comparison of ultraviolet, thermal, and microwave polymerized acrylamide terminated polydimethylsiloxane

<p>A novel oligomer was synthesized for the purpose of investigating the effects of ultraviolet, thermal, and microwave polymerization. The synthesis involved an anionic ring-opening equilibration reaction to produce poly(dimethylsiloxane) which was then endcapped with an acid chloride to resu...
