intermediate radical termination theory in elucidation of raft kinetics and comparison to experimental data

in current work a comprehensive mechanism based on intermediate radical termination theory is assumed for raft polymerization of styrene over cumyl dithiobenzoate as raft agent. rate constants for addition (ka) and fragmentation reactions (kf) are set to 6×106 and 5×104 respectively, which lead to an equilibrium constant value of k = ka/kf = 1.2 x 102. moment equations method was used to model ...

Magnetic Levitation To Characterize the Kinetics of Free-Radical Polymerization.

This work describes the development of magnetic levitation (MagLev) to characterize the kinetics of free-radical polymerization of water-insoluble, low-molecular-weight monomers that show a large change in density upon polymerization. Maglev measures density, and certain classes of monomers show a large change in density when monomers covalently join in polymer chains. MagLev characterized both...
