Abstract
In this communication, we first used [60]fullerene as initiator to initiate the bulk polymerization of N-vinylcarbazole (NVC) monomer at 70 degrees C (slightly higher than the melting point temperature, 65 degrees C, of NVC). A reasonable polymerization reaction pathway via C-60-NVC ion-radical pair s is suggested. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
