Disclosed herein are monomeric compounds having the formula: ##STR1## wherein: R and R.sup.1 are independently hydrogen, halide or alkyl; R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are independently hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl; q is 0 or 1; and Ar is arylene wherein no more than one of R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 is hydrogen, and a method of preparing same. These monomers can be homopolymerized or copolymerized with one or more other monomers to yield polymers having desirable solubility characteristics. In particular, copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomers can comprise aldehyde-containing vinylaryl ethers to yield crosslinkable polymers useful in relief image materials or as binders in photographic layers.
本文揭示了具有以下式子的单体化合物:##STR1## 其中:R和R.sup.1独立地为氢,卤素或烷基;R.sup.2和R.sup.3独立地为氢,烷基,环烷基,芳基或芳烷基;q为0或1;Ar为芳基,其中R.sup.2和R.sup.3中最多只有一个为氢。同时还提供了制备这些单体的方法。这些单体可以与一个或多个其他单体共聚,形成具有理想溶解度特性的聚合物。特别是,共聚的
乙烯基不饱和单体可以包括含有醛基的
乙烯基芳基醚,以产生可交联的聚合物,用于浮雕图像材料或作为摄影层中的粘合剂。
