The kinetics of anionic polymerization of thienylmethylcyclotetrasilox
ane with tetramethylammonium hydroxide has been studied. The polymeriz
ation mechanism is presented. It is shown that the kinetic curves are
well described within the frames of the considered mechanism. The nume
rical values of the reaction rate constants for different stages of po
lymerization are determined.
