Ak. Srivastava et N. Daniel, Kinetics and mechanism of radical polymerization of methylmethacrylate using p-acetylbenzylidene triphenylarsonium ylide (p-ABTAY) as an initiator, J POLYM R, 7(3), 2000, pp. 161-165
Solution polymerization of methylmethacrylate (MMA) initiated by p-acetylbe
nzylidene triphenylarsonium ylide in dioxane was carried out at 60+/-0.2 de
greesC up to 10 hrs. in a polymerization tube under a nitrogen atmosphere.
The values of the initiator and the monomer exponent were computed as 0.46
and 1.03, respectively. The overall activation energy and kp(2)/k(t) were c
alculated as 53 KJ/mole and 1.19 x 10(-2) L/mol.s, respectively for the pol
ymerization.
