Regular Comb Polystyrenes and Graft Polyisoprene/Polystyrene Copolymers with Double Branches (“Centipedes”). Quality of (1,3-Phenylene)bis(3-methyl-1-phenylpentylidene)dilithium Initiator in the Presence of Polar Additives

Abstract

The synthesis of regularly spaced comb polystyrenes and graft polyisoprene/polystyrene copolymers with two branches at each junction point (centipedes) is presented. The synthetic approach involves...
