4-tert-Butylstyrene
4-tert-Butylstyrene (CAS 1746-23-2), with the linear formula (CH3)3CC6H4CH=CH2 and a molecular weight of 160.26 g/mol, is a functionalized styrene monomer. It is primarily utilised in materials science and polymer science for the synthesis of specialised polymers. Its unique tert-butyl substituent influences polymer properties, making it valuable for research and development in advanced materials.
Polymer Synthesis
Serves as a monomer in the synthesis of polymers with tailored properties, influenced by the bulky tert-butyl group affecting chain packing and glass transition temperature.
Materials Science Research
Investigated for its role in developing novel materials due to the specific steric and electronic effects of the tert-butyl substituent on the styrene backbone.
Specialty Copolymerisation
Can be copolymerised with other monomers to create copolymers with unique characteristics, potentially enhancing thermal stability or solubility profiles.
