## Abstract Evidence is presented for initiation of MMA polymerization by the α‐methoxybenzyl (ether) radical, photogenerated by H abstraction from benzyl methyl ether, utilizing benzophenone as the H‐ab‐stracting agent. The results support previous reports on the initiating ability of ether radica
