Overview of Living Cationic Polymerization. Part 2: Living Cationic Polymerization of Vinyl Ethers

Abstract

The second installment of the three-part series of a special lecture for living cationic polymerization presents brief history of living polymerization of vinyl ethers. Recent progress in developing new initiating systems, especially base-assisting living systems, is highlighted after basic methodologies for living cationic polymerization is described.
