Abstract
The possibility of the bulk polymerization of isoprene in the presence of a rare-earth catalyst in apparatuses with a fixed bed of the reaction mixture is investigated. The efficiency of polymerization in the apparatus of a disc construction with a thin reaction-mixture bed providing near-isothermic conditions, a high rate of the process, simple regulation of the thermal mode, and a high content of cis-1,4 units in poly-isoprene is shown.
