METHOD OF CATALYZING OXYGEN-INITIATED FREE-RADICAL POLYMERIZATION AND CATALYSTS USED THEREIN

摘要

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSUREA class of new oxygen-activated free-radical poly-morization catalysts, comprising specifically-definedautoxidizable cyclic organic compounds together with cabalt(III)compounds, is disclosed. A method of catalyzing an oxygen-initiated free-radical polymerization reaction using thesecatalysts is also disclosed.
