โฆ Synopsis
The polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) was carried out in aqueous media having various concentrations of potassium persulfate as initiator in the presence or the absence of montmorillonite (Texas) at various temperatures. The rate of polymerization increased with increasing initiator concentration. Thermal stabilities of the resulting composite materials were studied and the activation energies of polymerization and degradation were determined.

Living radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) through the use of benzyl diethyl dithiocarbamate (BDC) was studied. The aim was to investigate the role of the concentration, BDC-to-MMA mol ratio, and reaction time upon the molecular weight, polydispersity, and conversion of the product.
