M. Dimonie et al., KINETIC ASPECTS CONCERNING THE STEREOSPECIFIC POLYMERIZATION OF ISOPRENE WITH LANTHANIDE BASED CATALYSTS, Revue Roumaine de Chimie, 40(1), 1995, pp. 83-92
The paper reports the kinetic characteristics of the polymerization pr
ocess of isoprene with NdCl3 . 3TIBA catalytic system. The influence o
f catalyst concentration, Al/Nd molar ratio, polymerization temperatur
e and monomer concentration against conversion, molecular weight, gel
content and microstructure of polyisoprene have been shown. The obtain
ed data permitted to establish the optimum conditions for isoprene pol
ymerization with this catalytic system.
