Abstract
The purpose of the present work concerning anionic polymerization has been described on the application of the effects of adding cryptands to alkali metals and organometallic derivatives initiating the bulk polymerization of methyl methacrylate. The influences of polymerization temperature and initiator concentration have also been investigated. The presence of complexed ion pairs increases the content of the syndiotactic structure and polymerization seemed to obey Bernouillian statistics.
