Abstract
Radical polymerization of styrene was carried out in a homogeneous non-aqueous dispersion media consisting of 95% ethanol in the ethanol-water mixture. Various proportions of carbon tetrabromide were added as a chain transfer agent before polymerizations, carried out under similar conditions. The effects of the chain transfer agent on the percentage conversion, particle size distribution, and molecular weight were measured. The findings show a considerable effect of the chain transfer agent on radical polymerization in non-aqueous dispersion.
