A modified concept for the overall rate in radical solution polymerization based on the theory of donor-acceptor complexes

Summary

Experimentally observed deviations from the classical rate laws of radical polymerization in solution can be treated as solvent interactions concerning the growth step. The theory of hot radicals and the theory of donor-acceptor complexes are based on these considerations. It had been shown that the experimental data rather fit the former theory. However by a modification of the latter theory with respect to termination reactions of the different radicals a remarkable equivalence between these different views is exposed.
