Abstract
The cationic polymerization of 1- and 2-vinylnaphthalenes has been studied. The polymers have low molecular weights; this is due to transfer reactions and in agreement with the results of quantum chemical calculations. The kinetic characteristics of 1-vinylnaphthalene have been determined in high purity conditions. Only one determination has been done with 2-vinylnaphthalene. The result shows that the rates of polymerization for the two monomers are the same, at least under the experimental conditions in this work. This observation is in agreement with reactivity ratios previously determined and the stabilization energy obtained by the Hückel method.
