Abstract

The AIBN-initiated polymerization of styrene is conducted at 60 and 80°C in the presence of tri-n-butyl boron and several p-quinones. The rate of polymerization and the molecular-mass characteristics of the polymers depend on the structure of the used p-quinone and the temperature of the process.
