Description:
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Maleimide groups were incorporated into polystyrene by a mild Friedel–Crafts procedure using <jats:italic>N</jats:italic>‐chloromethylmaleimide. Films and solutions of the modified polymer underwent photocrosslinking at a rate that was not appreciably affected by addition of photosensitizer. Free radical, thermal, and Diels–Alder crosslinking were also investigated.</jats:p>
