Processes of ionic polymerization are often regulated by addition of electron donors (ED) and electron acceptors (EA) to the initial reaction system. There are very few investigations of this route to regulate cationic polymerization processes. Thus, Panajotov et a].') have observed that the polymerization rate of styrene is strongly affected by EA. Heublein has estimated the change in the reactivity of growing chains in homo polymerization') and copolymerization processes under the influence of ED3z4).In this work preliminary results of an investigation of the effect of ED and EA on the polymerization of 4-methyl-1 -pentene (1) are presented. The catalytic systems and the polymerization conditions were chosen in accordance with our earlier work. Thus, the preparation of polymers of relatively high molecular weight with a high content of monomeric units of 1,2-type 2 and 1,3-type 3 was ensured5).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
