Abstract

Abstract Acrylamide has been polymerized electrochemically in aqueous medium in the presence of tartaric acid, and the effects of such reaction variables as monomer concentration, electrolyte concentration, and current on the rates of polymerization have been studied. The mechanisms of initiation and termination have been discussed in the light of the observed kinetic data. Initiation is believed to occur through the generation of radical ions during electrolysis, and electrolytic termination is found to be negligible during the polymerization process.
