摘要
The preparation method for the monodisperse crystallizable polymer, poly(tetrahydrofuran), was studied over a wide range of molecular weights. Bulk polymerization of tetrahydrofuran (THF) was carried out by introducing THF monomer into a completely reacted trifluoroboron—THF-ethylene oxide catalyst—promoter system, with vigorous stirring. This initiation technique had no induction period. Both molecular weights and conversion increased linearly with reaction time. The molecular weight distribution evaluated by the sedimentation method as well as light scattering and osmometry was very sharp and Mw/Mn was less than 1.01 even at the Mw=106 When the polymerization is stopped at a low conversion (8∧#x0025;), which is far from the equilibrium, the in-chain transfer reaction is negligible. © 1979, The Society of Polymer Science, Japan.
