Abstract
AbstractThe polymerization of methyl methacrylate(MMA) initiated with starch dissolved in water was carried out in the presence of Cu(II) ion. It was concluded that the polymerization proceeded in the water phase, particularly in the hydrophobic areas (or micelles) formed by the starch. The initiation mechanism was discussed. The formation of a complex of Cu(II) ion with starch and water was confirmed by the measurements of electric conductance and difference spectrum of the starch solution in the presence of CuCl2.
