Abstract
The iodineโinitiated, solidโstate copolymerization of tetraoxane with 1,3โdioxolane in the presence of methylal has been studied on a beaker scale. It was found that tetraoxane can be easily copolymerized with 1,3โdioxolane by a small amount of iodine as initiator and gives oxymethylene copolymer with excellent thermal stability in a high yield. The copolymerization was largely influenced by the concentrations of iodine, 1,3โdioxolane, and methylal, i.e., the polymerization rate increased with increase not only in iodine but also in 1,3โdioxolane, and the thermal stability and the molecular weight of the copolymer were mainly affected by 1,3โdioxolane and methylal concentration, respectively.

The iodine-initiated, solid-state copolymerization of the tetraoxane-1,3-dioxolane-methylal system has been studied by measuring the molecular weight distribution of the copolymer. The molecular weight distribution of the copolymer is found to be strongly dependent on the addition method of the 1,3-
