The radical polymerization of isoprene in alcohol solutions initiated by hydrogen peroxide was studied. It was found that alcohols were components of the initiated system and that their fragments with hydroxyl groups were included in every second molecule of an oligomer irrespective of the type of alcohol, of the monomer conversion, and of the oligomer molecular weight. The oligomer yields and its molecular weight were determined by alcohols through their effect upon the phase state of polymerization systems. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
