Abstract
A method for the preparation of gel-free poly 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate substantially in the absence of a chain transfer agent, comprising introducing monomeric 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate containing ethylene glycol dimethacrylate impurities in the range of about 0.05 to 0.1% by weight into a solution of alcohol and water and polymerizing. The present invention also provides a method for the preparation of gel-free homopolymer of 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate substantially in the absence of a chain transfer agent in an alcohol or in solution of alcohol and water. The present invention also provides a method for the preparation of gel-free copolymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate substantially in the absence of a chain transfer agent, comprising introducing monomeric 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate containing ethylene glycol dimethacrylate impurities in the range of about 0.05 to 0.1% by weight with monomeric 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate into a solution of alcohol and water.
