Nd) has been suc-cessfully carried out for the first time. It has been found that the new catalytic sys-tem composed of CS . Nd-AI (i-Bui,-methyl benzoxylate( Ⅲ) is an excellent cata-lyst for the polymerization of epichlorohydrin which shows a catalytic activity 60times higher tlian that of conventional rare earth catalyst. Under the following re-action conditions : Nd - 1 ×10 ̄(-6) mo1/g monomer, A1/Nd= 60 molar ratio , Ⅲ/A1=-0. 6 molar ratio, the monomer conversion and PECH molecular weight are as highas 92.9% and 28. 2 × 10 ̄5 respectively and the polymer prepared has a low crys-tallinity. The kinetics investigation revealed that the polymerization has a short in-duction period of several minutes and the rate of polymerization is of first orderwith respect to the monomer concentration and the catalyst concentration. The acti-vation energy of the polymerization reaction was found to be 25. 5 kJ/mol which islower than that of conimon rare earth catalvst.展开更多
