Methods for the synthesis and polymerization of α,α'-dihalo-p-xylenes

Abstract

The present invention describes an improved method for the polymerization of alpha,alpha-dihalo-p-xylene's such as the alpha,alpha'-dihalo-2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-xylene's. The procedure for synthesis is based on the specific order of addition of reagents and the use of an anionic initiator …
