Peroxyoxalate method, efficiency

Further monomer-soluble initiators mentioned in patents are di(2-ethylhexanoyl) peroxide [345], 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl peroxide [346], di(f-butyl) peroxyoxalate [347], di(carballyloxy isopropyl peroxydicarbonate) [348], di-2-butoxyethyl peroxydicarbonate [349], and di-4-chlorobutyl peroxydicarbonate [350]. An elegant initiation technique for polymerization of VC is described by Ravey and Waterman [351]. They investigated the in situ formation of the initiator during reaction from stable precursors. This method avoids the problem of handling unstable initiators. Furthermore, the in situ mode proved to be more efficient at lower temperatures than the conventional systems [352].
