Summary
A very interesting part within the wide field of chemical reactions are-catalyzed reactions. To find an effective low cost catalyst for various applications is a primary goal of many workers. Polymer chemistry is able to provide systems with qualities not known for monomeric catalysts. Especially in heterogenic systems the use of polymeric catalysts has many advantages such as easy separation for reuse or low toxicity. A special type of heterogenic catalysis is the phase transfer catalysis. Comb polymers of poly(styrene) with oligo(ethylene oxide) side chains were investigated for their ability as phase transfer catalysts.
