| Abstract: | The polymerization of methyl methacrylate and acrylonitrile is shown to occur by an anionic mechanism initiated by a 1:1 complex between triethyl aluminum and hexamethyl phosphoric acid triamide at a relatively high temperature. This complex can also initiate the radical polymerization of vinyl monomers at relatively low temperatures. A tentative initiation mechanism is presented. |
