Friedel-Crafts reaction

Bamboo-Containing Composites with Environmentally Friendly Binders

The environmentally friendly binder - poly[(trimethoxy)4-vinylphenethyl)] silane was synthesized for the first time via Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction, which was conducted by the reaction of polystyrene with vinyltrimethoxysilane in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3.The synthesized polymer was identified using 1H, 13C, 1H COSY NMR, and FTIR spectroscopy.
