Lanthanum isopropoxide was found to serve as a novel anionic initiator for the polymerization of hexyl isocyanate affording poly(hexy1 isocyanate) with very high molecular weight (M, > lo6) under appropriate conditions. Other lanthanoid alkoxides, such as samarium, ytterbium and yttrium isopropoxide

The non-activated polymerization of e-caprolactam initiated with the sodium salt of e-caprolactam (CLNa), which was prepared in situ with sodium methoxide, was studied in the temperature range 170 -230 8C and at CLNa concentrations from 0.20 to 1.0 mol-%, and at 190 8C in the presence of 2.0 -10.0 m
The anionic polymerization of methacrylonitrile has been studied at -75 in toluene and with n-butyllithium as initiator. The kinetics of the polymerization were investigated considering the consumption of both monomer and initiator. BuLi disappears relatively slowly and about 50-60'!,, remains unrea
