Chain branching occurs in cationic polymerization much as it does in free-radical polymerization. Propose a mechanism to show how branching occurs in the cationic polymerization of styrene. Suggest why isobutylene might be a better monomer for cationic polymerization than styrene.
Chain branching is not as common with anionic polymerization as it is with free-radical polymerization and cationic polymerization. Propose a mechanism for chain branching in the polymerization of acrylonitrile.
Explain why acrylonitrile (CH2 = CHCN) undergoes cationic polymerization more slowly than but-3-enenitrile (CH2 = CHCH2CN).

- Chain branching is not as common with anionic polymerization as it is with free-radical polymerization and cationic polymerization.

The difference in their reactivities in free radical polymerizations is dramatic.
