Abstract
Polymerization of isoprene in presence of a heterogeneous Ziegler‐type catalyst system, Cr(AcAc)3–AlEt3, has been studied in benzene medium. The rate of polymerization is first‐order with respect to catalyst as well as monomer concentration. The rate studies, activation energy, and polymer microstructures are reported in order to follow the probable mechanism of polymerization.Keywords
