15. It was noted that these conditions are compatible with the stabilization of ionic intermediates, in particular anions in the chain propagation reaction.

18. The point was made in ref 14 that, since toluene is a good solvent of the polymer, representative variations of the product molecular weight distributions with time could be obtained by monitoring the polymer isolated from the solution phase. It was also shown that less than 5% of the polymer remained associated with the solid phase at the end of reaction.
