Ionic Polymerisation and New Approaches to Polymerisation under Flow Conditions

Brocken, L.; Baxendale. I. R.

Flow Chemistry: Integrated Approaches for Practical Applications - Green Chemistry Series · 2020 · Chapter 8 · 257–315

Although ionic polymerisations are a valuable methodology historically they are less widely used because they are considered capricious, requiring significantly more optimisation due to their sensitivity to the specific reaction and processing conditions. …
