A new initiating system based on [(SiMes)Ru(PPh3)(Ind)Cl2] combined with azo-bis-isobutyronitrile in the polymerization and copolymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate

The homopolymerization and copolymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate, initiated for the first time by the combination of azo-bis-isobutyronitrile (AIBN) with [(SiMes)Ru(PPh3)(Ind)Cl2] complex. The reactions were successfully carried out, on a large scale, in presence this complex at 80 °C....
