β¦ Synopsis
Termination rate coefficients, k t , for free-radical polymerization of 15 vol.-% methyl methacrylate (MMA) dissolved in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-imide and in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate were measured at 10 C via the single pulse Γ pulsed laser polymerization Γ electron paramagnetic resonance (SP-PLP-EPR) technique. Whereas absolute k t in ionic liquid solution is by about one order of magnitude below the associated bulk MMA value, the chain-length dependence of k t is very similar in both liquid environments.

&&Living'' free-radical polymerization (LFRP) of styrene is usually performed following two di!erent reaction procedures: by TEMPO-mediated LFRP or by atom transfer radical polymerization. The main di!erence between the previous two processes is related to how the exchange between the active and the
## Abstract Literature data are summarized for the chainβlengthβdependence of the termination rate coefficient in dilute solution freeβradical polymerizations. In essence such experiments have yielded two parameter values: the rate coefficient for termination between monomeric free radicals, __k__,
