Abstract
4-butyl styrene has a good copolymerization activity with acrylamide. Benzene can i mprove rigidity of copolymer molecular
and meanwhile benzene which is hydrophobic group, can not only enhance the thermal resistance and salt tolerance, but
also produce hydrophobic association for copolymer. This paper describes how to prepare hydrophobic monomer 4 butyl
styrene from butylbenzene by Friedel Crafts Acylation Reaction, hydrogen transfer reduction, dehydration of the alcohol to
alkene. Product is studied as 4 butyl styrene with high purity through IR, 1HNMR..
Keywords
4-butyl styrene, Hydrophobic monomer, Micellar copolymerization, Temperature sensitive polymer.
