Abstract
The methylene derivatives of 1,3-dioxolane were proved to yield homo- and binary or ternary copolymers via free-radical polymerization, depe nding on initiation type and reaction conditions. While different auth ors reported experimental data on these compounds, no explanation of s uch polymerization behaviour was provided. The present paper is aimed to propose, through molecular mechanics and quantum mechanics approach es, a valid explanation of the already published experimental results.
