Popis: A novel method is described for transforming an anionic polymerizationprocess cationic polymerization process assisted by organosilyl groups. The reaction of the p-tolydimethylsilyl end group of polystyreneand triflouromethanesulfonic acid produced a silyl triflate' end ' group that served as a macrointiator for the si-O in the block copolymers underwent specific cleavage , by reaction with tetrabutylammonium fluoride.
