## Abstract The continuous tower process, a popular industrial process for the manufacture of polystyrene, was simulated and optimized. A kinetic model for the thermal polymerization of styrene, which takes into account the Trommsdorff effect and the volume change accompanying the reaction, was dev

## Abstract **Summary:** A new generation of anionic initiators (butyllithium free), based on trialkylaluminum and a readily available alkali metal hydride, has been developed for the control of styrene polymerization at high temperature. Triisobutylaluminum and sodium hydride form heterocomplexes
## Abstract As the simplest model for the propagation centre in the anionic polymerization of methyl methacrylate, the solution of methyl 2βlithioisobutyrate (1) in tetrahydrofuran was studied by means of ^1^H, ^6^Li, ^7^Li and ^13^C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and Raman spectroscopy at vario
