The competitive reactions of cyanoisopropyl radicals with the mixed monomers styrene and acrylonitrile have been investigated using the nitroxide radical trapping technique. When the trap concentration is kept low, second, third, and even fourth generation (in terms of successive monomer addition) c

A~tract--The present paper reports an investigation on the "pseudo-living'" radical chain propagation process in the case of the styrene polymerization initiated by benzopinacolates. Two steps were observed, as in earlier reported investigations. Oligomers were formed first at low monomer conversion
## Abstract The elevated temperatures required for the stable freeβradical polymerization (SFRP) process lead to thermal initiation of styrene via the classic Mayo mechanism. Studies have shown the utility of styrene thermal initiation in controlled autopolymerization processes. In addition, the th
