Abstract
The polymerization of vinyl monomers with the initiator systems of ferrocene and acid anhydrides were investigated. The initiator activity for radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) was higher than that for styrene (St). However, isobutyl vinyl ether was not polymerized. The rate of polymerization of MMA with ferrocene/benzoic anhydride system was in proportional to the square root concentrations of both compounds of the initiator system, indicating the mechanism of radical polymerization. When an alternating copolymer of ethylene with maleic anhydride was used as an acid anhydride, a graft copolymer, which was soluble in dimethylformamide and tetrahydrofuran, was produced from radical polymerization of MMA.
