Title:		Novel Catalyst for Cationic Polymerization
Inventor:		Rudolf Faust
Summary:		Compositions and methods for preparing living, cationic polymerization of olefins are disclosed, including a mixture or a reaction product used as initiators. The researchers disclose a method for preparing a room temperature vulcanizable (RTV) polyisobutylene polymer having hydrolyzable silyl-functional groups positioned at or near molecular chain ends, prepared by a living polymerization in the presence of a Lewis acid. The compositions comprise a group 4 element halide, and a group 13 element halide at low concentrations. The initial concentration of the group 4 element halide and the group 13 element halide used were less than 0.02 mol/L.
