or 10 0 any of these values may be used to define a range for the molar ratio of the vinyl hydrocarbon monomer to the cnsl wherein the properties of the different embodiments may have more than one property associated with more than one molar ratio range for example the molar ratio of the vinyl hydrocarbon monomer to the cnsl may range from about 0 8 to 10 0 or about 0 8 to 3 0 the reaction between cnsl and vinyl hydrocarbons is carried out in sealed reactors in batch semi batch or continuous modes protected from exposure to air and preferably blanketed with an inert or reducing atmosphere the temperature of reaction is a function of the reactivity of the cnsl the vinyl hydrocarbon monomer and the activity of the acid catalyst for example when the vinyl monomer is an aliphatic type and a lewis acid catalyst is used the temperature range for the process may range from about u2212 10 u00b0 c to about 90 u00b0 c and is preferably between about 40 u00b0 c to about 60 u00b0 c when the vinyl monomer is an aromatic type and a lewis acid catalyst is used the temperature range for the process may range from about u2212 10 u00b0 c to about 90 u00b0 c and is preferably between about 20 u00b0 c to about 60 u00b0 c when the vinyl monomer is an aromatic type and an inorganic acid or sulfonic acid catalyst is used the temperature range for the process may range from about 50 u00b0 c to about 150 u00b0 c and is preferably between about 100 u00b0 c to about 120 u00b0 c even for the combination of substrates with the lowest reactivity an exothermic reaction is observed at early stages of.
