Abstract
The influence of the reaction medium (organic solvents, water, ionic liquids, supercritical CO~2~) on the propagation rate in radical polymerizations has very different causes, e.g., hindered rotational modes, hydrogen bonding or electron pair donor/acceptor interactions. Depending on the origin of the solvent influence propagation rate coefficients, k~p~, may be enhanced by up to an order of magnitude associated with changes in the preβexponential or the activation energy of k~p~. In contrast, nonβspecific interactions, size and steric effects lead to rather small changes in the vicinity of the radical chain end and are reflected by modest variations in k~p~.
