The role of monomer in catalytic chain transfer polymerization was studied by determination of the chain transfer constants of the tetraphenyl derivative of cobaloxime boron fluoride (COPhBF) in methyl methacrylate at 60 8C varying the monomer concentration instead of the COPhBF concentration as is

✦ Synopsis
The kinetics of the free-radical copolymerisation of styrene and maleic anhydride at 60 ° in bulk and in several solvents have been studied. Copolymer compositions may be interpreted either in terms of a mechanism involving a penultimate group effect or in terms of a mechanism involving some propagation via styrene-maleic anhydride donor-acceptor complexes. However, experiments at various overall monomer concentrations and in which zinc chloride and phthalic anhydride have been added indicate that the penultimate group effect mechanism is to be preferred.
