Synthesis of the Backbone by Cationic <strong>Polymer</strong>ization<br />

3.2.1.1<br />

Poly(v<strong>in</strong>yl ether) Backbone<br />

Graft copolymers with poly(v<strong>in</strong>yl ether) backbone and polystyrene or polybutadiene<br />

branches were synthesized start<strong>in</strong>g from poly(CEVE) prepared by liv<strong>in</strong>g<br />

cationic polymerization [67]. Typically, the cationic polymerization was performed<br />

<strong>in</strong> toluene at low temperature and was <strong>in</strong>itiated by the HCl adduct of the<br />

monomer <strong>in</strong> the presence of ZnCl 2 . <strong>Polymer</strong>s with controlled length (DP n =6–56)<br />

and narrow MWD were obta<strong>in</strong>ed (M w /M n
