Abstract
α-Methylstyrene was polymerized with iodine as a catalyst in nitrobenzene or toluene as the solvent in the presence and absence of an electric field. In nitrobenzene, a large field-accelerating effect was found, while the degree of polymerization was increased, though very slightly, by the application of the electric field. In toluene, no field effects on the polymerization rate and the degree of polymerization were observed.
