G. Deak et al., AN IN-SITU REACTION OF PROPAGATING CHAIN-END AS IODO-ACETAL IN THE POLYMERIZATION OF BUTYL VINYL ETHER INITIATED BY I-2 AND HI I-2 SYSTEMS/, Macromolecular chemistry and physics, 198(11), 1997, pp. 3599-3604
The polymerization reaction of butyl vinyl ether with initiating syste
ms I-2 and HI/I-2 was investigated with glass fiber photometry and con
ductometry by monitoring the characteristic changes in the absorbance
versus time curve and in the conductivity Versus time curve. Aldehyde
end-groups were observed and a mechanism of their formation is propose
