Abstract

The synthesis of high molecular weight near-monodisperse poly(4-methylstyrene) is described. The polymerizations were conducted using sec-butyllithium as initiator and benzene as solvent. Chain transfer involving the p-methyl group is effectively prevented by the combination of low polymerization temperature (0°C) and limited (<60%) conversion.
