The kinetics of free radical polymerizations of methyl and butyl acrylate were studied in benzene at 50:. The initiation rate constant determined by the inhibition method was found to be constant over the whole monomer solvent composition range in both systems. The polymerization rate was investigat

✦ Synopsis
An experimental investigation of the kinetics of the bulk free radical polymerization of butyl acrylate initiated with 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile ( AIBN ) was conducted at 50" and 60°C using two initiator concentrations. Conversion levels were measured by gravimetry and were independently confirmed using replicate runs. The experiments, conducted in glass ampoules, were performed over the full conversion range. ,A mathematical model for process simulation purposes was developed. The model was able to predict conversion at the two temperatures and initiator concentrations, thus providing a better understanding of the butyl acrylate homopolymerization kinetics.
