- Abstract:
- The living cationic ring opening polymerization of 2-ethyl-2-
oxazoline performed in an ionic liquid under microwave
irradiation showed an enhanced polymerization rate in
comparison to the reaction in common organic solvents; the
ionic liquid was efficiently recovered and reused in new reaction
cycles, completely avoiding the use of organic volatile
compounds.
