Fig. 5: Proposed mechanism for the synthesis of MBCPs via the switchable polymerization of epoxides, anhydrides, and acrylates.
From: Synthesis of highly effective polyester/polyacrylate compatibilizers using switchable polymerization
Anhydride acts as the switcher that enables the transfer of acrylate homopolymerization to CHO/PA copolymerization.
