Alternating cyclocopolymers having a condensed ring structure were synthesized via radical copolymerization of the divinyl ether (DVE) carrying agem-dimethyl group on the spacer withN-substituted maleimides (MIs). The consumption behaviors of the C=C bonds in both monomers and the values of the pseudo-monomer reactivity ratios close to zero supported the alternating propagation in the order of one of the DVE double bonds, MI, another double bond of DVE, and MI, to afford the topologically unique copolymers. The cyclocopolymerization was controlled via the RAFT process, and thus, one-pot synthesis of the multiblock alternating cyclocopolymer carrying different pendant groups on the MI units was achieved via sequential addition of MIs. The series of alternating cyclocopolymers exhibited high thermal stabilities and high glass temperatures (Tgs). In particular,Tgof theN-ethyl MI-based cyclocopolymer was much higher than the predicted value by the Fox equation, which was presumably derived from the rigid backbone including the condensed ring structure.
