Abstract:
1. A method for making a modified (alkyl)acryloyl polymer, comprising the following steps: (a) subjecting a cyclic(alkyl)acryloyl carbonate to ring opening polymerization, thereby forming a polymer which bears at least one pendant (alkyl)acryloyl group, wherein said-cyclic(alkyl)acryloyl carbonate is of formula (4): wherein R 1 and R 2 each independently are hydrogen, methyl or ethyl; (b) modifying the at least one (alkyl)acryloyl group of the polymer by a process which comprises reacting the (alkyl)acryloyl group with a functional ligand; and said functional ligand is a thiol-bearing ligand or an amine-containing ligand.
