Abstract
Di(2‐hydroxy propane methacrylate) ester of adipic acid (DAP) was prepared by reacting adipic acid with glycidyl methacrylate using triphenyl phosphine as catalyst. The kinetics of bulk polymerization of the prepared compound using benzoyl peroxide as initiator were determined using isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The kinetic order of the reaction (order exponent n and autocatalytic exponent m) and apparent reaction rate constant (k) were determined. The kinetics of radical‐initiated photo‐polymerization of DAP were also studied by differential photocalorimetry (DPC), using benzophenone as initiator. The rate of reaction was found to be much higher in radical‐initiated photo‐polymerization than in radical‐initiated thermal polymerization.

## Abstract The rate and degree of bulk polymerization of styrene and vinyl acetate initiated by difuroyl peroxide and, for comparison, by dilauroyl and dibenzoyl peroxides were measured at several temperatures as a function of the initiator concentration. Also the rates of initiation were determin
The polymerization of diisopropyl itaconate (DIPI) initiated with dimethyl 2,2'-azobisisobutyrate(MAIB) was investigated kinetically in benzene. The polymerization rate (Rp) was expressed by R v = k[MAIB]°46[I)IPI] 16 at 50 °. The overall activation energy of the polymerization was calculated to be
Radical polymerization of dicyclohexyl fumarate (DCHF) initiated with dimethyl 2,2'-azobisisobutyrate (MAIB) or 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) at 60 ° was studied kinetically. The polymerization rate (Rp) initiated with MAIB was greater than that with AIBN, in spite of the similar decomposition
