Abstract

Detailed kinetic studies into free‐radical polymerization via pulsed laser experiments ideally require photoinitiators which almost instantaneously dissociate into primary free‐radical fragments that rapidly add to monomer molecules and thus induce macromolecular growth. 2‐Methyl‐4′‐(methylthio)‐2‐morpholinopropiophenone (MMMP) is shown to be such a suitable photoinitiator. Measurement of monomer conversion induced by a single laser pulse, within the so‐called single‐pulse pulsed laser polymerization (SP–PLP) experiment, provides direct information about the chain‐length dependence of the termination rate coefficient if MMMP is used as the photoinitiator.

Relative monomer concentration vs time trace of a methyl acrylate homopolymerization at 40 °C and 2 000 bar where MMMP was used as the initiator. The primary radical concentration from MMMP photo‐decomposition increases from curve (a) to (b) to (c) by the ratios 1:2.2:5.7.
