Abstract
In industry, the bulk free radical polymerization of styrene takes place wi th the aid of peroxide initiators such as benzoyl peroxide. In this work di - and trimeric cyclic peroxides were used as initiators of the styrene poly merization in order to increase the rate of polymerization and molecular we ights simultaneously.
