formed in the presence of catalysts, are obtained by pressure polymerisation at higher temperatures. The formation of the lower polymers follows a different course from the high polymerisation, and high polymers cannot be made by the application of high pressure to the unsaturated dimer of a-methylstyrene. High polymerisation among the substances studied is only realised in compounds of the type ArylCRXH,.WHEN organic molecules polymerise they normally do so to yield substances of greater stability (at reasonably low temperatures) and lower molecular volume. Hence the reaction is one which would be expected to be favoured by increase in pressure. Conant and Tongberg (J. Anzer. Chem. SOC., 1930, 52, 1659) observed the ready polymerisation of isoprene under 12,000 atm. pressure at room temperature, and Tammann and Pape (2. anorg. Clzem., 1931, 200, 113) noted that pressures up to 3000 atm. had a greater influence on the polymerisation of olefins than on the other liquid-phase reactions studied by them. A particular advantage of high pressure as a means of effecting polymerisation is that it may bring about reaction under comparatively mild conditions, and thereby diminish disturbing influences of high temperatures and drastic catalysts. The present paper deals with explorative work on the polymerisation of some substituted ethylenes, and particularly of a-methylstyrene, at pressures up to 10,000 atm., and at temperatures of 100-ca. 160".
