What is Copolymerization of Vinyl Chloride and Acetate about?
This document discusses a study on the copolymerization of vinyl chloride (VC) and vinyl acetate (VA) with ethylene using an iron catalyst. Experiments showed that VC and VA can insert into the growing polyethylene chain, but rapid beta-elimination occurs afterwards. Quantum calculations helped explain the thermodynamics and kinetics of insertion. Future work aims to prevent the elimination step to enable coordination polymerization of polar monomers.
