Abstract

Free radically polymerizable olefinic monomers may be polymerized by using a fluorinated alkyl sulfonyl chloride or bromide and optionally a lower valent metal compound as an initiator system. Monomers such as styrenes, (meth)acrylics, halogenated olefins and vinyl ethers may be polymerized to a variety of thermoplastics or elastomers.
