Xh. Yan et al., KINETIC-STUDY OF ANIONIC OLIGOMERIZATION OF STYRENE BY QUANTITATIVE SEC, Journal of polymer science. Part A, Polymer chemistry, 34(12), 1996, pp. 2319-2324
By the method of the absolute quantitative SEC, a process of anionic o
ligomerization of styrene, initiated by n-butyl lithium, was followed.
The concentration of 1-5-mer monodisperse species in different reacti
on times can be obtained by HPSEC separation. The results shown that t
he propagation rate constants increased with increasing chain length a
nd converged to a constant. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
