The anionic polymerization of oxetane in toluene was achieved using a combination of tetraoctylammonium bromide and simple triisobutylaluminum. By its copolymerization with ethylene oxide, di- and triblock copolymers were prepared in one and two steps respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
