One significant advancement in cationic polymerization is the use of secondary alkyl chlorides in combination with alkyl aluminum compounds as co-initiators for the polymerization of butadiene.

Post-polymerization modification of incorporated monomer units focus on two types of reaction. One is the removal of protecting groups where monomers with the desired functionality are incompatible ...
