Notes:
Low concentrations (0.001-0.03M) of chlorine easily induce photopolymerization of MMA at 40°C. Kinetic data indicate that polymerization follows a radical mechanism involving complexation of monomer by the initiator and initiation takes place through radical generation during photodecomposition of the initiator-monomer complex. Termination appears to take place bimolecularly. The kp2/kt value for MMA polymerization at 40°C was found to be 0.83 × 10-2. Rates of chlorine-initiated photopolymerization were found to decrease in the order MMA, EMA ≫ VA, Sty 〉 MA.
