The subject of this proposal is a method for the homogeneous coordination polymerisation of polar methacrylate monomers, selected from 2- (diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate, hereinafter referred to as DEAEMA, and triethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate, hereinafter referred to as TEGMA, using vanadium(IV), niobium(V) or tantalum(V) complexes activated with methylaluminoxane, hereinafter referred to as MAO.
The invention is used in the production of polymethacrylates as materials for the reversible sorption and desorption of CO₂, materials to aid in the separation of CO₂ and N₂, gas-switchable optical materials, and components of thermoresponsive systems.
