Abstract
Bulk styrene polymerizations initiated by 2,2-bis(t-butyldioxy)propane, 2,2-bis(t-butyldioxy)butane, and 2,2-bis(t-butyldioxy)-3-methylbutane have been examined. The polymerization rate simulation based on the decomposition mechanism of initiators is presented, and compared with experimental data. It is shown that the radicals generated from the initiators effectively initiate the polymerization of styrene. We discuss the radical species actually initiating the polymerization of styrene from these initiators.
