Isoprene with a-methylstyrene

Fig. 6.20. Effect of polymerisation potential (Epoi) on the percentage conversion in electrochemically initiated copolymerisation of isoprene with a-methylstyrene o with ultrasound without ultrasound.

Figure 18 shows the effect of ultrasound on the electrooxidatively initiated copolymerization of isoprene with a-methylstyrene, in CH2CI2-BU4N BF4 at 30°C using platinum electrodes in a divided cell. Thus, with ultrasound, copolymerization proceeds effectively at lower potentials, with some curvature in the dependence of composition upon potential. equal 50-50 copolymer was...
