Abstract
Abstract [60]Fullerenated poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate)s containing 0.6–3.0 wt % C60 were synthesized. These polymers are soluble in methanol and N,N‐dimethylformamide (DMF). [60]Fullerenated poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate)s with higher C60 contents are only sparingly soluble in DMF and virtually insoluble in other organic solvents. A loading of 1.2 wt % C60 in poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) does not greatly affect its miscibility with poly(N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone), poly(1‐vinylimidazole), and poly(4‐vinylpyridine). © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
