Abstract
AbstractThe kinetics of free radical polymerizations of N‐acryloylpiperidine (NAPi) were studied in benzene (Bz) using 2,2′‐azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator. The activation energy was determined to be 111.7 kJ mol−1. The overall rate of polymerization of the NAPi‐AIBN‐Bz system at 60°C was investigated as a function of monomer and initiator concentrations. Deviation from normal kinetics was observed with an order of 1.48 with respect to the monomer. The observed dependence of the rate constants kp/k on monomer concentration could not be explained by the diffusion theory or the theory of electron donor‐acceptor (EDA) complexes. The observed data have, however, been satisfactorily interpreted by the ‘hot’ radical theory.
