Acrylic acid was polymerized in aqueous medium using the peroxy salts Na,S,O,, (NH,),S,O,, and KIO, as initiators. Of those salts, Na,S,O, proved to he the most advantageous. Detailed investigations of the polymerization process were carried out with Na,S,O, alone and with different reductants, name

Abstract
The polymerization of acrylic acid by the redox system ammonium persulphate/sodium sulphite was studied under a variety of conditions. The obtained results indicate that the total conversion is determined by the concentrations of (NH~4~)~2~S~2~O~8~ and Na~2~SO~3~, as well as by the degree of neutralization of acrylic acid and the duration of polymerization. The apparent viscosity of the formed poly(acrylic acid) decreases as the shear rate increases due to the deformation of the poly(acrylic acid) macromolecules under the influence of higher shear rate. A tentative mechanism for the polymerization reaction is suggested.
