Notes:
The relative reactivities of polymer radicals in vinyl polymerization have been correlated semiquantitatively according to the Alfrey-Price Q′ and e scheme. Polystyrene radicals are arbitrarily assigned a Q′r value of unity. The relative reactivities of other polymer radicals are then characterized by the Q′ and e values of the parent monomers. This is shown by data concerned with copolymerization, homopolymerization, and chain transfer. It is proposed that the dispersion forces of London are the predominant influence in chain transfer reactions of polymer radicals with solvents.
