Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The paper deals with the effect of the reaction temperature, the solvent polarity and the hydrogen iodide cocatalysis on the iodine initiated polymerization of styrene. Through a computer simulation based on a mathematical model previously proposed, different theoretical curves have been obtained which are in agreement with the experimental features of the system.
