Abstract:The electroinitiating polymerization of 1,3,5-trioxane in solution and molten state with tetraethylammonium hexachloroantimonate has been investigated. Molecular weights of the polymers, as indicated by their viscosity numbers increase with increasing initial monomer concentration and decreasing current levels. The induction period of polymerization is dependent on the monomer concentration and reaction temperature. The overall activation energy of the polymerization was determined to be about 10, OO kcal/mol(… Show more
