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

✦ Synopsis
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 found that the former process is quite appreciable in the system and must be allowed for to arrive at accurate values of transfer constants. Values of transfer constants for both primary radicals and macroradicals towards benzoquinone, and characteristic constants for degradative chain transfer and primary radical transfer have been evaluated applying the mathematical treatment developed previously. The mode of termination of macroradicals by fairly stable microradicals formed as a result of transfer has also been discussed.

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
## Abstract The radical polymerization behavior of vinyl monomers, such as styrene, methyl methacrylate (MMA), and vinyl acetate (VAc), in the presence of carbon black initiated by benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and 2,2'‐azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) in ionic liquid (IL) was compared with those in toluene.
The reactions of azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) with p-benzoquinone (BQ) and chloranil in toluene, chlorobenzene and acetonitrile, have been investigated by isolation and identification of the reaction products. In toluene and chlorobenzene, isobutyroylamino hydroquinone together with tetramethyl dio
