Notes:
An electron spin resonance (ESR) study confirms a free radical mechanism for aqueous vinyl polymerization initiated by three redox systems involving thiourea. The primary radical, NH2—C (=NH)S., could not be detected by ESR spectroscopy, perhaps because of its large g anisotropy and/or very short relaxation time. Propagating radicals are trapped from methyl-methacrylate by 2-methyl-2-nitroso propane (MNP) and their structures are found to be the same as those produced by either azo-bis-isobutyrnitrile or di-t-butyl peroxylate. The latter monomer, however, reacts with MNP in the absence of any initiator, giving different ESR lines.
