Radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of benzoyl peroxide, ferrocene and zirconocene dichloride

The controlled radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by the ferrocene–zirconocene dichloride–benzoyl peroxide system was found to occur as a living radical process with an increased concentration of sindio-triads in the resulting poly(methyl methacrylate).
