Abstract
The elementary rate constants for the radical polymerization of vinyl acetate and vinyl benzoate have been determined in various aromatic solvents and ethyl acetate. The kp values for vinyl benzoate are larger than those for vinyl acetate in all solvents, although methyl affinities of both monomer were similar. These results show that the poly(vinyl benzoate) radical is more reactive than the poly(vinyl acetate) radical.
