Abstract
Aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons containing isopropyl chloride end groups in combination with boron trichloride are effective initiator systems for the cationic polymerization of methyl propene. The mathematical modelling of the proposed reaction mechanism leads to rate constants for initiation, propagation and termination which allows a good fit with experimental results. Recycling experiments have clearly shown that it is possible to reuse the coinitiator boron trichloride and the solvent dichloromethane without effecting the quality of the products.
