Detailed kinetic analysis of AIBN-initiated polymerization of methylmethacrylate in presence of p-benzoquinone has been reported. Primary radical transfer, whereby a primary radical transfers its radical reactivity to a transfer agent, has been considered along with macroradical transfer. It is foun

✦ Synopsis
The polymerization of methyl methacrylate in benzene was initiated by benzoyl peroxide and examined by kinetic analysis particularly from the point of view of primary radical termination. It is concluded that the velocity constant for dissociation of the benzoyloxy radical to give the phenyl radical is affected by the nature of the medium.

The kinetics of vinyl chloride polymerization initiated by benzoyl peroxide doubly labelled with t4C and 3H were studied in 1,2-dichloroethane solution at 60 °. The importance of primary radical termination in the polymerization is examined by kinetic analysis and by analysis of polymers for combine
Vinyl acetate was polymerized in bulk and in benzene at 50°C using a wide range of concentrations of azobisisobutyronitrile. Values offk (the efficiency of initiator) and kr,,/klk p (the characteristic constant of primary radical termination) were found to be 0.53 and 2.00 x 104 respectively from da
The photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate in bulk using N- [(pbenzoyl)benzenesulfonyl]benzenesulfonamide as a photoinitiator was studied. A kinetic study of the photopolymerization showed that the rate of polymerization is proportional to the square root of the photoinitiator concentration. The
The initial rate of polymerization is where Io is the incident illumination and [A12Ets]o is the total molar concentration of tfialkyl aluminium dispensed, estimated as dimer. Direct photolysis of the 1 : 1 MMA:AIEts Wittig-"ate" complex is not responsible for polymerization. Initiation is thought
