Researches into the function of metal halides in cationic polymerisation

Grattan, David W

Abstract

The work was concerned with the study of the ionisation of aluminium halides in alkyl halides, and the role of these solutions in cationic polymerisatlons. These are problems of long standing interest which became topical through the proposal of a new theory which ascribed initiation to the ions formed by the self-ionisation of the aluminium halides.
