Abstract
Synthesis and cationic polymerization of a new monomer 4-(oxiran-2-ylmethyl)morpholine (OMM) is reported. The monomer was prepared by the reaction of morpholine with epichlorohydrine followed by treatment with sodium hydroxide. The green polymerization of OMM was performed in bulk under suitable condition at temperature $${40 ^{\circ} {\rm C}}$$40∘C using an activated smectite clay catalyst, known as Maghnite-H+ (Mag-H+) as proton source. The products are proven by infrared spectroscopy (IR) as well as by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR, 13C NMR), and characterized by intrinsic viscosity.
