Contents:
Photoinitiated cationic polymerization of p-methylstyrene has been investigated in dichloromethane at 25°C, using stable, soluble, and nonhygroscopic di, tri and pentamethoxy trityl carbocationic salts, having non-nucleophilic anions such as SbF6-, AsF6-, PF6-. The reactivity of these salts falls in the order: trimethoxy > dimethoxy > pentamethoxy. The effects of counter ion structure, salt concentration, photolysis time and photolysis wavelength on the polymerization rate are presented.
