Method for producing reactive intermediates for transport polymerization

摘要

A method of producing a reactive intermediate having at least two free radicals from a precursor having a general formula of X_m-Ar-(CZ'Z''Y)_n via a reactor made at least partially of a material M that is reactive with the precursor to produce at least one of M_aY_b and M_cX_d is disclosed. The method comprises heating the reactor, introducing a flow of precursor into the reactor, contacting the precursor with the material M to form the reactive intermediate and at least one of M_aY_b and M_cX_d, and reducing M_aY_b to M and a compound comprising Y and/or reducing M_cX_d to M and a compound comprising X after forming the reactive intermediate and the at least one of M_aY_b and M_cX_d.
