Abstract

An approach to perform controlled acid-catalyzed oligomerization via vapor pressure control of the reactions inside Nafion membranes is presented. The interaction of Nafion with several classes of aromatic (pyrrol, furan, thiophene) and unsaturated (methyl-acetylene) gas phase monomers was studied a...
