Head-to-Head Polystyrene N2 - Head-to-head (H-H)polystyrene was obtained by radical 1,4-polymerization of 2,3-diphenylbutadiene followed by selective hydrogenation with potassium and ethanol. The chemical, physical, and thermal properties of H-H polystyrene were studied and compared with those of both atactic and isotactic head-to-tail (H-T)polystyrene. The T, of the H-H polymer was found to be nearly the same as the T, of the atactic H-T polymer. The degradation behavior of H-H and H-T polystyrene was also very similar indicating that both types of linkages are of comparable stability UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f77UtR60SOVE11e3T2VqXVq8t4n7ig-4/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
