ABSTRACT:
A method of preparing vinyl ether polymers is provided. The process utilizes as a catalyst an iodine containing electrophile and a zeolite. The vinyl ethers cationically polymerize to polymers having narrow molecular weight distributions. The vinyl ether may be copolymerized with styrene, alkyl-substituted styrenes, alkoxy-substituted styrenes and mixtures thereof.
