Summary
The mechanism of grafting and blocking in cationic polymerisations initiated by the system RCl-Et2AlCl is discussed. The criticism by Kennedy and Wondraczek of the proposal of a grafting-onto (and blocking-onto) mechanism given in our book is refuted point by point and new arguments are put forward to corroborate our original hypothesis.
