โœฆ Synopsis

An electrical glow discharge has been used to initiate the bulk polymerization of liquid styrene monomer. Very efficient stirring was found to be an important requirement for high yields of polymer. The kinetics of the system have been investigated using solutions of styrene in chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents, at various temperatures. Molecular weight determinations have been made in order to determine initiation efficiency. It was found that this efficiency could be increased by the presence of various sensitizer gases. Potential copolymerizing monomers have been subjected to a glow discharge together with styrene, to distinguish between radical and ionic mechanisms of polymerization.

## Abstract An attempt to discuss the initial stage and terminating stage of glow discharge polymerization was made by selecting the monomer system of styrene and acetylene, which differ in their condensibility, and a certain polymerization procedure. Results indicate the important aspects of the i
