Notes:
To study the effect of micellar aggregation upon polymerization and polymer products, the polymerization of the micelle forming monomer allyldimethyldodecylammonium bromide (I) was investigated under both micellar and isotropic conditions. NMR spectroscopy and fluorescence quenching were employed to elucidate the structural characteristics and molecular weight of the polymer obtained by γ-ray irradiation. It was found that (I) undergoes effective polymerization in the micellar state, producing a polymer which consists of a mixture of head to tail and head to head configurations at the ratio 85/15, and has a mean molecular weight of 11,000 ± 1000 daltons.
