Living Cationic Polymerization
Monomers for living cationic polymerization are electron-rich alkenes such as vinyl ethers, isobutylene, styrene, and N-vinylcarbazole. The initiators are binary systems consisting of a electrophile and a Lewis acid. The method was developed around 1980 with contributions from Higashimura, Sawamoto and Kennedy.

Famous quotes containing the word living:

But that, long travelling, he had come
Towards nightfall upon certain set apart
In a most desolate stony place....”
