Abstract
High intensity ultrasound has been used to prepare homopolymers and copolymers of styrene, methyl methacrylate and n‐butyl methacrylate. High molecular weight homopolymers are formed rapidly during sonication and are then subjected to a degradation process. The copolymers prepared by this method have similar structure and properties to those prepared using AIBN as an initiator.Keywords
