Abstract

Abstract Cationic polymerization of tetrahydrofuran (THF) and epichlorohydrin (ECH) was performed with peroxy initiators synthesized from bis (4, 4′-bromomethyl benzoyl peroxide (BBP) or bromomethyl benzoyl t-butyl peroxy ester (t-BuBP) and AgSbF 6 or ZnCl 2 system at 0 C to obtain the poly (THF-b-ECH) macromonomeric peroxy initiators. Kinetic studies were accomplished for poly (THF-b-ECH) initiators. Poly (THF-b-ECH-b-MMA) and poly ( ...
