Epoxides as Activators for Grafting of Poly(Tetrahydrofuran) from Poly(Methylphenylsilylene)

Abstract

Epoxides have been found as efficient activators for initiation of the cationic polymerization of tetrahydrofuran by trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate. They can also activate partially triflate polysilane and lead to grafting of the polyTHF from polysilanes.
