Aj. Beck et al., THE ROLE OF CATIONS IN LOW-POWER RADIO-FREQUENCY PLASMAS OF PROPENOICACID, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (10), 1995, pp. 1053-1054
In radio frequency (RF) sustained plasmas of propenoic ('acrylic') aci
d, trimeric cations are detected by MS, and their concentration correl
ates with retention of acid functionality in the polymer product.
