The occurrence of hydride-transfer reactions during the cationic polymerization of trioxane was demonstrated, and rate constants were obtained. The donor of hydride ions in the transfer reactions was the monomer. The hydride-transfer reaction was a first-order reaction with respect to the concentrat

โฆ Synopsis
Cationic polymerizations of trioxane in 1,2-ethylene dichloride and benzene were heterogeneous and reversible. Phase separation accompanying with crystallization occurred during the polymerization. Three morphological changes were found in the course of the polymerization as were investigated by dilatometry and precipitation method. Based on the findings of morphological changes and three reversible processes for the polymerization, a rate equation was proposed to describe the polymerization. The proposed rate equation was fairly good in describing the experimental data, and kinetics constants including K p , K d , K p ะ, K d ะ, M l eq , M s eq , and K dis /K cr for the polymerization at 30, 40, and 50ยฐC in 1,2-ethylene dichloride and benzene were obtained. Factors that affected the kinetics constants were discussed.
