Abstract
The kinetics of the aqueous polymerization of methacrylamide has been studied under an inert atmosphere employing the potassium peroxodiphos phate-cysteine hydrochloride redox pair. The order with respect to mon omer and activator has been found to be unity and initiator showed hal f order. The polymethacrylamide samples collected under different kine tic conditions have been used for the determination of intrinsic visco sity [eta], viscometric average molecular weight <(M)over bar (V)> and degree of polymerization <(P)over bar (n)>.
