Abstract
Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) equilibrium constants, K~ATRP~, are measured for copper‐mediated styrene polymerizations in acetonitrile solution using several different ligand and initiator systems. Application of high pressure increases the rate of an ATRP by enhancing both K~ATRP~ and the propagation rate coefficient. This favorable effect is not counterbalanced by an increase in dispersity. A comparison of the values of K~ATRP~ measured on monomer‐free model systems shows close agreement with values measured during styrene polymerization.
