The Cationic Ring-Opening Polymerization of Tetrahydrofuran with 12-Tungstophosphoric Acid

The cationic ring-opening polymerization reaction of tetrahydrofuran at 20 ºC was catalyzed by H3PW12O40·13H2O as solid acid catalyst. The effect of the proportions of acetic anhydride and catalyst, reaction time and support on the polymerization reaction was investigated. It has been found that the...
