Abstract

AbstractIn order to analyze the polymerization rate at high initiation rate and/or low monomer concentration, the rate equations are derived by a rate formulated previously for polymer–polymer termination and another rate for primary radical termination, which is formulated here (both rates depend on chain length of polymer radical). Such equations would be applicable to the kinetic data in the polymerizations of styrene and methyl methacrylate. This shows that the assumption that both rates are independent of chain length overestimates the rate of primary radical termination.
