3. 3 Synthesis of BPA-Ci ＋ BPA(1.83g ， 8mmol) and TEA(2.43g ， 24mmol) were dissolved in EAc(25ml). Cinnamoyl chloride(4g ， 24mmol) was dissolved in EAc(15ml). Stirring was maintained for 24 h. Stirring was maintained for 24 h. Ice bath(0 ℃ ) The precipitate was filtered, washed with Na 2 CO 3 solution, and water. Finally, the solvent of the dried filtrate was evaporated under reduce pressure and dried under vacuum to give 45% of BPA-Ci.

Stirring was maintained for 24 h. Ice bath(0 ℃ ) The precipitate was filtered, washed with Na 2 CO 3 solution, and water. Finally, the solvent of the dried filtrate was evaporated under reduce pressure and dried under vacuum to give 60% of DOD-Ci.

9. 南台化材 9Conclusions 1. 1 H NMR showed that BPA-Ci and DOD-Ci was synthesized sucessfully and actual values of peak area was consistent of theoretical values. 2. The UV-vis spectra of cinnamate-containing monomer (BPA-Ci 、 DOD-Ci) and polymer PCEMA shows that C=C double bond disappears after UV irradiation for 30min. 3. The UV-vis spectra of PCEMA/DOD-Ci(9/1) blends shows that C=C double bond disappears after UV irradiation for 7min.

10. Future work 1.Observe the changes of UV absorbance of polymer solution with UV irradiation by UV-vis spectroscopy, (a)PCEMA/DOD-Ci = 7/3, 1/1, (b)PCEMA/BPA-Ci =9/1, 7/3, 1/1. 2. Observe the changes of UV absorbance of polymer films with UV irradiation by UV-vis spectroscopy, (a)PCEMA/DOD-Ci =9/1, 7/3, 1/1, (b)PCEMA/BPA-Ci =9/1, 7/3, 1/1.
