Vinyl bromide polymerization with alkylboron and alkyl halide catalyst

摘要

AbstractTrialkylboron–alkyl halide catalyst systems were found to induce the polymerization of vinyl bromide and other vinyl monomers at low temperatures. Tri‐n‐butylboron is the most effective catalyst. Among alkyl halide, carbon tetrachloride gives the best yield of poly(vinyl bromide). The polymerization process can be controlled by adjusting the reaction conditions of the initiating components. The rate of polymerization varies depending on the di
