Non-steady-state living polymerization: a new route to control cationic ring-opening polymerization (CROP) of oxetane via an activation chain end (ACE) mechanism at ambient temperature.
Well-defined polyoxetane with low polydispersivity has been synthesized via a novel living polymerisation process using 3-phenoxypropyl 1,4-dioxanium hexafluoroantimonate (3-PPD) as a model of a living "monomeric polyoxetane" initiator, in 1,4-dioxane at 35 degrees C.
