U. Tunca, AQUEOUS POLYMERIZATION OF ACRYLAMIDE INITIATED BY REDOX PAIR - CE(IV)-AZO COMPOUNDS WITH METHYLOL FUNCTIONAL-GROUPS, European Polymer Journal, 31(8), 1995, pp. 785-789
The polymerization of acrylamide (AAm) initiated by redox pair: the ce
ric ammonium nitrate[Ce(IV)]-hydroxy containing thermolabile azo compo
unds (R) has been investigated in aqueous nitric acid at 20 degrees C.
It was determined that how the rate of polymerization depends on [AAm
], [R] (1 or 2) and [Ce(IV)], respectively. The relationships between
degree of polymerization and AAm-, R-, and Ce(IV)-concentrations were
also evaluated.
