Marcarian X., Falk L., Müller A.H.E., Pla F. Effect of Micromixing in the Continuous Anionic Polymerisation of Methyl Methacrylate

Proceedings, 6th Intl. Workshop on Polymer Reaction Engineering, Berlin, October 1998. DECHEMA Monographs 134, 577 (1988)Up to now, several strategies have been worked out to obtain "tailor-made" (meth)acrylic (co)polymers. The use of alkoxy alkoxides, discovered by Teyssié et al. [1] playing the role of s-m ligands in classical anionic polymerisation, allows to reach at the same time: "living" high molecular weight polymers of alkyl (meth)acrylates at high temperature, their copolymerisation even with non-polar monomers at moderately low temperatures, the achievement of all of these reactions in hydrocarbon solvent while maintaining the same stereoselectivity as in polar media.
