Na. Lavrov et al., POLYMERIZATION OF 2-HYDROXYETHYL METHACRYLATE, INITIATED AMMONIUM PERSULFATE ASCORBIC-ACID IN AQUEOUS-ORGANIC MEDIA, Russian journal of applied chemistry, 66(12), 1993, pp. 2098-2101
Polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate in water and in the mixt
ures water-dimethylformamide and water-dimethyl sulfoxide in the prese
nce of the initiating system ammonium persulfate-ascorbic acid has bee
n investigated. The effect of concentration of the initiating system a
nd of the nature and quantity of the organic solvent introduced upon t
he kinetics of polymerization and the molecular mass of the polymers f
ormed has been studied.
