Z. Hruska et al., USE OF THE PHENANTHRENE-BASED LITHIUM INITIATOR IN THE ANIONIC-POLYMERIZATION OF METHYL-METHACRYLATE, Polymer bulletin, 32(2), 1994, pp. 163-167
A series of poly(methyl methacrylate) PMMA polymers with low polydispe
rsity was synthesized anionically using sterically hindered (1-(9-phen
anthryl)-1-phenyl-3-methylpentyl)lithium as an initiator. Results of a
bsorption spectroscopy and gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) analyse
s were used to discuss the initiator efficiency.
