Abstract
The kinetics of polymerization of the divinyl monomer, i.e., N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide has been studied employing a peroxodiphosphate-thioacetamide redox system under inert atmosphere at 40±1°C. The rate of polymerization Rp, was proportional to [Monomer]1, [Thioacetamide]1.0, and [Peroxodiophosphate]0.5. Based on the experimental results, cyclopolymerization of the growing radicals and mutual termination has been proposed.
