  • Publication number: 20170166537
    Abstract: The invention provides novel methods of synthesizing new monofunctional and/or multifunctional heterocyclic monomers and the formulation of new alloys of said monomers from base reactants via a continuous solvent-free, or alternatively in-solvent, one-step high shear reactor methodology designed to reduce the minor isomer formation and to eliminate the need for post-processing purification, as well as the ability to disperse reinforcements and additives while synthesizing such heterocyclic monomers and monomer alloys created and to the synthesis of related compositions.
