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
The kinetics of methyl acrylate polymerization initiated by azobisisobutyronitrile were investigated in dimethylformamide at 40-60. The polymerization was 1/2 order with respect to initiator; the rate of initiation was independent of the initial concentration of monomer. The rate and the overall rate constant of polymerization strongly depend on the medium: the overall rate constant decreases with increase of solvent concentration. The solvent dependence of overall rate constant can adequately be described by the hot radical theory.
