## Abstract The thermal stability of poly(L‐lactide) and L/D‐lactide stereocopolymers polymerized in bulk with aluminium isopropoxide as initiator was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis, and time and temperature dependence of molecular weight and polydispersity. Compared to poly(L‐lactide)

## Abstract A high increase in the bulk polymerization rate of L,L‐lactide and racemic D,L‐lactide is observed when aluminium isopropoxide is added with an equimolar amount of a Lewis base, such as triphenylphosphine (P(ϕ)~3~) and better 4‐picoline (C~6~H~7~N). Polylactide of high molecular weight
## Abstract The rate and degree of bulk polymerization of styrene and vinyl acetate initiated by difuroyl peroxide and, for comparison, by dilauroyl and dibenzoyl peroxides were measured at several temperatures as a function of the initiator concentration. Also the rates of initiation were determin
