POLYMERIZATION OF PHOSPHAALKENES

摘要

Methods for polymerization of phosphaalkenes using initiators are provided. Also provided are polymers and co-polymers in which the polymer backbone contains tracts of carbon and phosphorus atoms in approximately equimolar amounts. C-P bonds in the polymers of this invention may be predominantly in a head-to-tail arrangement or mixed arrangements. Co-polymers may comprise polyolefin monomer units.
