Abstract
The initiating efficiency of some cobalt, aluminium and ferric salts f or the polymerization of 2-methylpropene in hexane is evaluated by the determination of the polymerization yield. Whereas cobalt salts are i nactive, the initiating capability of ferric perchlorate is good. Anhy drous ferric perchlorate was prepared, and under anhydrous conditions its initiating efficiency is similar to that of the dihydrate. These r esults show that cationic polymerization of olefins can be induced, wi th notable activity, by heterogeneous initiators in apolar media, usin g salts other than aluminium trichloride.
