Notes:
The effect of various substituted amines on the polymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by ferric laurate - amine as the initiator system has been studied in carbon tetrachloride medium at 60°C. Amines used are n-butyl amine, di-n-butyl amine. The rate of polymerization is found to follow the order: tertiary 〉 secondary 〉 primary amine. From the detailed kinetic studies it was found that the overall polymerization rate can be expressed by the equation: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ R_p = \frac{{k_p }}{{k_t^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} }}(k_1 f)^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} [{\rm Monomer}][{\rm Fe}^{3 + } ]^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} [{\rm Amine}]^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} $\end{document} The relative activity of the different amines has been found to be dependent on the relative electron-donating tendency of the substituents present in the amine. The mechanism of the polymerization is discussed on the basis of these results, and various kinetic constants are evaluated.
