Abstract
The wide range of commercial materials that are produced by industrial cationic polymerization processes is presented. Vinyl or ring-opening cationic polymerization methods enable the synthesis of unique polymer structures that are utilized in an array of significant commercial applications. A brief but concise description of the cationic mechanism is necessary in order to enhance current industrial processes as well as to generate novel and useful polymers possessing favorable price/performance characteristics.
