Summary

  1. 1.

    Data were obtained on the effect of the nature of the initiator on the course of the polymerization of styrene.

  2. 2.

    In presence of bivalent initiators the polymerization of styrene proceeds more slowly than in presence of univalent initiators, and it is accompanied by continuous rise in molecular weight through the polymerization process. The resulting polymers have higher molecular weights than those obtained with univalent radicals.

  3. 3.

    An explanation is proposed for the observed facts.

  4. 4.

    Polymeric terephthaloyl peroxide was synthesized.
