Abstract
The present paper reports the polymerization of methyl methacrylate us ing diphenylzinc-water, Ph2Zn-H2O, systems and also using just Ph2Zn; our results indicate that these systems behave differently; while Ph2Z n-H2O systems induce the polymerization with conversion to polymer dep ending on the molar ratio water/diphenylzinc, H2O/Ph2Zn, used (in a pr ocess similar to the one postulated for the polymerization of oxiranes and styrene monomers), the Ph2Zn at 120-degrees-C behaves as an accel erant of free radical polymerization of MMA monomer.
