STRENTH OF ANIONIC POLYMERIZATION
No Termination (Trully Living)Well-Defined polymers(Low Molecular, Structural, Compositional
Dispersity, Control of MW up to a Few Hundred Thousands)
Compatible with Dienes (Butadiene, Isoprene,2-Methyl-pentadiene)Control of Microstructure (1,2; 1,4; cis and trans, Polyolefins by H2)
Not a Method of Choice in Industry. Many Steps under inert and Clean Atmosphere, Time Consuming
Only if it is Necessary, e.g. KRATONS
Why is Important for Industrial Application?Model Polymers, Structure-Properties relationships
