Abstract
The polymerization of acrolein oxime initiated by hydrochloric acid has been studied in 1,2-dichloroethane solution over the temperature ranges from 0°C to 40°C. The reaction is incomplete, giving limited yields of polymer, depending on the initial catalyst concentration, but not on that of the monomer. Consequently, individual values of the rate constants are estimated on the basis of the nonstationary chain reaction proposed by Pepper. The molecular weights of polymers obtained are very low (<1000) and are determined by chain transfer rather than termination processes. The polymer consists of a few kinds of structural units, and of the corresponding reactions, the 1,2- addition is predominant.
