Abstract

A correlation has been established between the rate constant for termination and the coefficient of swelling of the polymeric coils during the radical polymerization of a number of vinyl monomers: the copolymerization rate, the copolymer's molecular mass and its thermodynamic affinity have also been found to depend on the composition of the monomeric mixture. It is concluded that the density of the polymeric coil, which is determined by the thermodynamic quality of the solvent (the monomer), is one of the principal factors affecting the constant for termination.
