Abstract
Pulsed-laser polymerization results are presented for N-isopropyl acrylamid e (NIPAM) in water; the data show the overtones that satisfy one of the PLP consistency tests. Apparent propagation rate coefficients k(p,app) were me asured; these decrease with increasing concentrations of initiator, monomer and polymer, sugeestina significant association between the various specie s involved. The PLP data also qualitatively show the presence of low rates of termination and transfer.
