Np. Piven et al., KINETICS OF THE DECAY OF NITROXYL RADICALS DURING POLYMERIZATION OF ACOMPLEX OF ACRYLAMIDE WITH BISMUTH NITRATE, Russian chemical bulletin, 43(9), 1994, pp. 1484-1487
Kinetics of the decay of nitroxyl radicals during spontaneous polymeri
zation of complexes of acrylamide (AAm) with Bi-III nitrate has been s
tudied by ESR. From a comparison of the experimental and calculated ki
netic curves, the initiation rate constant of polymerization has been
determined. The approach proposed is suitable for determining the main
kinetic characteristics of other polymerizable nonparamagnetic AAm co
mplexes with metal nitrates.
