Living cationic polymerisation of styrene in an ionic liquid.
For the first time, living cationic polymerisation of styrene has been carried out in room temperature ionic liquids under mild reaction conditions and using mild acid catalysts (e.g. organoborate acids) to obtain polymers of narrow polydispersity.
