✦ Synopsis
The thermal decomposition rate constant of AIBN ( k d ) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)/ acrylonitrile (AN) mixtures of various compositions at 60°C is studied. The k d value is (6.45 +. 0.3) X min-' for pure acrylonitrile.
The k d values of DMF/AN mixtures were found to be dependent on the mixture composition. This dependence is not a linear function of the monomer mole fraction ( x M ) , but has a minimum at ca. 70 mol % of AN. The relationship kd = f ( x M ) has been interpreted on the basis of the hypothesis of initiator solvation by monomer AN and solvent DMF. 0

## Abstract **Summary:** Radiation‐induced polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in ethanol (EtOH) and __N__,__N__‐dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of ionic liquid [Me~3~NC~2~H~4~OH]^+^[ZnCl~3~]^−^ is reported. A substantial increase in monomer conversion and molecular weight is observ
