Designed Polymers By Carbocationic Macromolecular Engineering, Joseph Kennedy, Bela Ivan
Joseph P. Kennedy
The first comprehensive treatment of its subject, this book is for polymer professionals interested in producing polymeric materials designed for specific applications. Carbocationic macromolecular engineering is one of the most powerful techniques for this purpose. Its appeal has been heightened by the recent discovery of living cationic polymerizations. The book is divided into sections on theory and practice, with the first part consisting of a general introduction to carbocationic polymerization fundamentals and mechanisms, including the latest views on living carbocationic polymerizations. The second part is a comprehensive examination of specific products and processes. The emphasis is on new products and …

Carbocationic Polymerization, Joseph Kennedy
Joseph P. Kennedy
This article summarizes fundamental and general aspects of carbocationic polymerizations, with a historical overview and up-to-date references. Following general considerations, the basic elements of carbocationic polymerization, such as monomers, initiating systems, solvents, and temperature, are discussed. Special attention is given to carbocation stability and monomer nucleophilicity, and dynamic interactions. The section on the kinetics of carbocationic polymerization presents current understanding of the elementary reactions—initiation, propagation, termination, and transfer reactions, and copolymerization. Controlled (living) carbocationic polymerization is discussed in a separate section. Finally, industrial carbocationic polymerizations are reviewed.
