✦ Synopsis
The anionic polymerization of st wene with sodium as gegenion was investigated in hexamethylphosphortriamide by the flow technique. The pol3merization process corresponds to that observed in other polar solvents with the difference that in this solvent polystyrylsodium prevailingly exists as solventseparated ion pairs and its free ions. Therefore the rate constants of these species can be directly determined and are found to be practically identical to those found in other ethereal solvents. The dissociation constant of polystyrylsodium is approximately 10--' mole/1.

The influence of the initiator structure on the reaction process was investigated. In addition to the initiator concentration, its molar mass and the content of perester groups in the single molecule are determining factors that influence the course of reaction. Quantitative relationships are shown.
