Abstract
Phenyl glycidyl ether has been polymerized, using aluminum catalysts, to crystalline as well as amorphous polymers. The crystalline fraction is high melting (ca. 200°) and insoluble at room temperature. The amorphous fractions are soluble at room temperature and some show rubber-like properties. The best yields of polymer were obtained when reactions were carried out in bulk, in open, stirred systems using aluminum isopropoxide and zinc chloride as cocatalysts.
