Abstract: This machine comprises a number of elements mounted fitted one inside the other, and in succession, from the outside inward, a large lyre (10) which is rotated, a large cradle (12) which is stationary, two small lyres (15) which are coaxial and rotated in opposite directions, two small cradles (22) which are stationary and placed in the volume of the two lyres (15) and two reels (24) of wire each rotated inside a small cradle. The wires are twisted for a first time on the small lyres (15), then twisted together in the opposite direction on the large lyre (10).

Abstract: An initiation system for the anionic polymerization of (meth)acrylic monomers and, optionally, nonacrylic vinyl monomers is disclosed. The initiation system comprises (1) a functional initiator and (2) an alkali metal alcoholate having the formula R'OM', in which M' is an alkali metal and R' is a group R.sup.1 (OR.sup.2).sub.m where R.sup.1 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl or arylalkyl radical, R.sup.2 is a C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkylene radical and m is equal to 1, 2 or 3. The initiation system is applied to the formation of (meth)acrylic homopolymers and block copolymers of (meth)acrylic monomers and, optionally, nonacrylic vinyl comonomers.
