Why does styrene undergo anionic polymerization easily? |
|
Answer» These polymerizations are initiated by nucleophilic addition to the double bond of the monomer. This nucleophile can be an ion such as hydroxide, alkoxide, cyanide or a carbanion. The carbanion can originate from an organo-metallic species such as an alkyl lithium or Grignard reagent |
