Abstract

The important factors which control the stereochemistry of polymerization, and thereby the crystalline properties of the polymers so formed, are considered for four different types of reactions including: (1) the cationic polymerization of substituted α-methylstyrenes to form syndiotactic polymers; (2) the anionic ring-opening polymerization of substituted β-propiolactones to form crystalline polyesters; (3) the metathesis ring-opening polymerization of 1,5-cyclooctadiene to form poly(1,3-butadiene)s of controlled cis-trans contents; and (4) the condensation polymerization of α-methylbenzyl chloride to form isotactic poly(α-methylbenzyl).
