The reactions were carried out under different conditions to obtain the best yields of products for each monomer studied. The results  demonstrated that the yield and the type (soluble or non-soluble) of the products  is dependent on the solubility and the reactivity of the initiator in the monomers, constituting a heterogeneous system influenced by hydrophobic-hy
