Abstract
Polymerization of methylmethacrylate (MMA) with aminoalcohols, namely ethanolamine (EA), diethanolamine (DEA) and triethanolamine (TEA) in the presence of carbontetrachloride (CCl4) has been investigated in the dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) medium by employing a dilatometric technique. The rate of polymerization (Rp) has been evaluated under the conditions\(\tfrac{{{\text{CCl}}4}}{{\left[ {{\text{amine}}} \right]}} 1. The kinetic data reveal the possible participation of a charge-transfer complex in the polymerization reaction. In the absence of either CCl4 or amine, no polymerization of MMA was observed under the present experimental conditions. The polymerization of MMA was inhibited by hydroquinone, indicating a free radical initiation.
