Abstract
Homogeneous polymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by potassium salts of methanol and t-butyl alcohol was studied in toluene in the presence of cryptand [222]. The polymers prepared were predominantly syndiotactic. The isotacticities increased slightly with an increase in temperature. The propagation steps follow Bernoullian statistics within experimental errors.
