Abstract

Polymerization of isobutylene initiated by either aluminum trichloride or tin tetrachloride were conducted in the presence of alkyl phenols in both n‐heptane and methylene dichloride solutions at temperatures between βˆ’10 and βˆ’70Β°C. The resultant polymers contained both unsaturated and phenolic endgroups in varying proportions dependent upon reaction conditions. Increased phenol concentrations in the polymerization medium resulted in decreased polymer molecular weights and increased phenol endgroup content. Increased reaction temperature reduced polymer molecular weights and phenol endgroup content. Chain lengths governed by ring alkylation were found to be less sensitive to polymerization temperature than those determined by other modes of chain transfer.

Epoxy-terminated polystyrene has been synthesized by radical polymerization using a-( tbutylperoxymethyl) styrene (TPMS) as the chain transfer agent. The chain transfer constants were found to be 0.66 and 0.80 at 60 and 70Β°C, respectively. The presence of epoxy end groups was confirmed by functional
