The anionic polymerization of monomers such as acrylonitrile (AN) and ε‐caprolactone by triethylenediamine (TEM)/epoxide complex was investigated. They were not polymerized by TEM alone but polymerized easily with the addition of various epoxides. When glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and allyl glycidyl ether (AGE) were used as the epoxide component, a double bond was introduced at the end of the polymer. Thus the macromonomers were prepared with the polymerization by TEM/GMA and TEM/AGE complexes. Macromonomers prepared with GMA were copolymerized with comonomers such as AN, styrene, acrylamide and methyl methacrylate to prepare the graft copolymers.
