Abstract
AbstractKinetic studies of the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene are reported, with the particular aim of determining radical‐radical termination rate coefficients (<kt>). The reactions are analyzed using the persistent radical effect (PRE) model. Using this model, average radical‐radical termination rate coefficients are evaluated. Under appropriate ATRP catalyst concentrations, <kt> values of approximately 2 × 108 L mol−1 s−1 at 110 °C in 50 vol % anisole were determined. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
