Ionic polymerization
SLIDE 2
1.0 Introduction
Follow the same basic steps as free-radical
polymerization (i.e. initiation, propagation and
termination)
However, the ionic site is either a carbanion (C ) for
anionic polymerization or a carbonium (C ) for cationic
polymerization of C=C compounds.

1.1 Solvents
Solvents are important in ionic polymerization. They are
used to disperse a molten alkali metal suspension
initiators.
High polar hydroxylic solvents such as water and alcohol
cannot be used to solvate* the ions as they can react with
initiators and destroy them.
Other polar solvents such as ketones will prevent
initiation of polymerization by forming highly stable
complexes with the initiators.
*Solvation is a process of attraction and association of
molecules of a solvent with molecules or ions of a
solute. As ions dissolve in a solvent, they spread out
and become surrounded by solvent molecules.

Initiation
Various initiators with electron-releasing substituent can be
used to polymerize the monomers .
I) Protonic Acids
Protonic (Brnsted) acids initiate cationic polymerization
by protonation of the olefin.

Note:
Brnsted acids involve the transfer of an H+ ion, or proton. HCl and H2SO4 are acids that
have hydrogen that can be released as protons, they are called protonic acids. The protonic
acids help increase the concentration of the hydronium ion of water.
