Abstract

Living nature was appeared in the cationic polymerization of tort-butyl vinyl ether (TBVE), initiated by iodine, carried out in toluene at -78$^{\circ}C$. It was found that the number average molar mass of the resulting polymer (equation omitted) increases linearly as the conversion to polymer increase which reveals that there is no operation of chain transfer or termination process in this system. The polymers having narrow distribution and having molar mass of the resulting polymers are dependent on molar ratio of monomer and iodine.
