In this work, the influence of three different initiators (KOH, KOH dissolved in ethanol and the potassium salt of ethylene glycol) on the propylene oxide polymerization was studied by experimental and theoretical methods. A first series of reactions was carried out to establish the adequate thermal

## Abstract Anionic ring‐opening polymerization of propylene oxide in the presence of a potassium alkoxide initiator was accelerated by the addition of the bulky phosphonium salts tetrakis[cyclohexyl(methyl)amino]phosphonium‐, tetrakis[propyl(methyl)amino]phosphonium‐, and tetrakis[octyl(methyl)ami
## Abstract Diblock copolymers of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) were synthesized by the anionic ring‐opening polymerization of propylene oxide (PO), with controlled microwave heating in sealed vessels. A detailed study was carried out to investigate the effects of diffe
