Maghnite-H⁺ (Mag-H),proton-exchanged Montmorillonite, catalyzed the cationic copolymerization of 2-chloroethylvinylether (CEVE) with styrene (St) in a solvent free system. The objective is tosynthesize anend-group functionalized copolymer. The advantage of theMag-H lies in its capacity to solve ecological (green catalyst) and economic problems, and also to the fact that the reactions are carried out under moderate conditions, solvent freeand at room temperature.A kinetic study was carried out, and the products obtained were characterized using different methods of analysis, including IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR and viscosimetry.
