An investigation of the influence of R on the abilities of the polar monomers CH2CH(CH2)8OR (R = Me, PhCH 2, Ph3C, Me3Si, Ph3Si) to participate in O- rather than η2-co

Copolymerization of ethylene and propylene with polar monomers of the types CH₂CH(CH₂)_nOH (n = 1-12) in order to introduce polar functionality into the resulting polymers is possible in principle if the hydroxyl groups of
