Which of the following monomer(s)would undergo cationic polymerization?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cationic polymerization occurs through a carbocation intermediate, and monomers that can form stable carbocations are suitable for this type of polymerization. Isobutylene and vinyl acetate can both form stable carbocations and therefore can undergo cationic polymerization. Vinylidine fluoride and acrylonitrile have less stable carbocations and are not suitable for cationic polymerization. Therefore, the correct answer is C and D.
