Studies on the polymerization of methyl acrylate initiated by heterocyclic ylide

Solution polymerization of methyl acrylate (MA) in dioxan at 60°C using imidazolium- p-chlorophenacylide as initiator was examined. Analysis of kinetic and other data indicate that the polymerization follows non-ideal kinetics ( R p α [ICPY] 0.36 [MA] 1.0); termination seems to be initiator dependen...

Description
Summary:Solution polymerization of methyl acrylate (MA) in dioxan at 60°C using imidazolium- p-chlorophenacylide as initiator was examined. Analysis of kinetic and other data indicate that the polymerization follows non-ideal kinetics ( R p α [ICPY] 0.36 [MA] 1.0); termination seems to be initiator dependent and transfer of the degradative type reasonably explains the kinetic non-ideality.
