Stereoregular Polymers. II. Polymerization of Alkenyltrimethylsilanes with Ziegler Catalyst

Abstract
Vinyl-(I), allyl-(II), and 3-butenyl-trimethylsilane(III) were polymerized at 70°C in n-heptane with the heterogeneous catalyst of Ziegler’s type. The monomer I gave only a small yield of polymer, while the monomers II and III gave moderate amounts of polymers. The amorphous and crystalline polymers of these monomers were separated by extraction with appropriate solvents. As regards the crystalline polymers, solubility property, density, dilatometrical melting point, and X-ray spectra were described. Glass transition temperatures of the amorphous polymers are also determined.
