Textbook Question

Chapter 26.2B, Problem 26.6P

Chain branching occurs in cationic polymerization much as it does in free-radical polymerization. Propose a mechanism to show how branching occurs in the cationic polymerization of styrene. Suggest why isobutylene might be a better monomer for cationic polymerization than styrene.

Definition Definition Chemical process in which one or more monomers combine to produce a very large chain-like molecule called a polymer. The functional groups present on the monomers and their steric effects are responsible for polymerization through a sequence of reactions that vary in complexity. There exists a stable covalent chemical bond between monomers that sets apart polymerization from other processes.
