Heteropolyacids—New efficient initiators of cationic polymerization
Abstract
Abstract We have found, that heteropolyacids (HPA) are efficient initiators of cationic polymerizations, including polymerizations of cyclic ethers and acetals, providing high‐molecular‐weight polymers. In several systems (e. g. THF, 1,3‐dioxolane) the degree of polymerization is given by the ratio of concentrations of monomer and initiator, as for the living system. In the polymerization of cyclic formaldehyde trimer: 1,3,5‐trioxane, the comparable polymerization rates may be obtained with ≈ 25 times less an initiator consumption on weight basis (≈ 103 times less on molar basis) than for typical initiators like BF3 · OR2.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
