Synthesis of functional stimulus responsive oligovinyl ethers and towards highly branched polymers using ab initio cationic polymerisation

Oligo(vinyl ethers) with functionalised end groups were produced through the alkylation of silyl enol ethers in ab initio cationic polymerisations. In order to obtain high degrees of chain end functionality a great deal of care was taken in choosing the monomer concentration, the reaction temperatur...
