In a previous paper1 it was mentioned that trapped radicals in poly(maleic anhydride) (Poly-MAH) have the ability to initiate cationic polymerization. In this paper, the cationic polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether (IBVE) is described using Poly-MAH as the initiator. These radicals show different behavior during polymerization depending upon their structure. In particular, large conjugated radicals initiate ionic polymerizations.
