Why is cationic polymerisation preferred...

Why is cationic polymerisation preferred in case of vinylic monomers containing electron donating groups ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electron donating groups tend to increase the electron density on the monomer unit. As a result, cationic attack can easily take place. For example, cationic polymerisation in propene with an electron releasing `CH_(3)` group with `+I` effect
