Use of Cyclic Di- and Triperoxides as Initiators of Styrene Polymerization at High Temperature with a View to Their Use in Industrial Applications

Abstract

Abstract:In industry, the bulk free radical polymerization of styrene takes place with the aid of peroxide initiators such as benzoyl peroxide. In this work di-and trimeric cyclic peroxides were used as initiators of the styrene polymerization in order to increase the rate of polymerization and molecular weights simultaneously.

Tetraoxanes: Synthetic and Medicinal Chemistry Perspective

“…22,23 These compounds can initiate polymerization of olefins and their utility as high temperature initiators is also under investigation. 24 Vennerstrom et al exploited medicinal potential of this class of compounds and have shown that some of the compounds are equally active as artemisinin. 19 Number of research papers have been published since then and little over 250 tetraoxanes have been evaluated for their antimalarial activity and some of the compounds have shown promising in vivo antimalarial activity.…”

Calorimetric and Computational Study of Enthalpy of Formation of Diperoxide of Cyclohexanone

“…Tetroxanes are capable of initiating polymerization of olefins and their utility as high temperature initiators is under examination [7]. More recently, tetroxanes have been found to posses an impressive antimalarial activity [8].…”

“…Thermolysis of tetroxanes derived from cycloalkanones finds industrial use in the production of macrocyclic hydrocarbons and lactones [ 4 – 6 ]. Tetroxanes are capable of initiating polymerization of olefins and their utility as high temperature initiators is under examination [ 7 ]. More recently, tetroxanes have been found to posses an impressive antimalarial activity [ 8 ].…”
