Use of Cyclic Di- and Triperoxides as Initiators of Styrene Polymerization at High Temperature with a View to Their Use in Industrial Applications

Abstract

In industry, the bulk free radical polymerization of styrene takes place with the aid of peroxide initiators such as benzoyl peroxide. In this work di- and trimeric cyclic peroxides were used as initiators of the styrene polymerization in order to increase the rate of polymerization and molecular weights simultaneously.
