Abstract
The polymerization of fluoral initiated by the photolyzed decomposition of azobisisobutyronitrile at low temperature has been studied. Up to 2% conversion, the effect of radical scavengers and the order with respect to initiator and light intensity indicate that the reaction occurs by a conventional radical polymerization mechanism. At about 2% conversion autoacceleration sets in and the rates become irreproducible. This is explained by typical occlusion phenomena. Tracer studies show that polymer prepared at high conversion contains initiator fragments indicating that primary propagation is by monomer addition to radicals. The reaction mechanism is discussed.

Azobisisobutyronitrile, as a photosensitizer of the polymerization of N-vinylcarbazole in dichloromethane solution at 2 = 366nm, has also been shown to quench the polymerization that normally occurs in its absence. As the initiator concentration is raised, the polymer yields at first decrease and pa
Dispersion polymerization of acrylamide in tert-butyl alcohol (TBA)-water media (TBA 50 vol %) using poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) as the stabilizer and 2,2Π-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator at 50Β°C has been studied. The conversion-time curve shows autoacceleration taking place from
