    Abstract:

    Cationic polymerization is not only the oldest technique for making synthetic polymers, but it is the first to have employed renewable monomers. Various essential commodity items are made solely by this technique, yet the chemistry is far from being "green". This paper and the corresponding talk both cover research efforts into the development of clean methods for effecting the cationic polymerization of olefins with emphasis on commercial applications. A number of unique strategies are discussed including aqueous polymerization, recyclable Lewis acids, and hydrocarbon soluble forms of AlCl3. The bulk of this information has yet to be discussed in peer-reviewed literature (pending) and in some instances the chemistry appears to be impossible. Future endeavors such as living aqueous polymerization are also mentioned.
