Abstract

The kinetics of redox -initiated polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) by the systerm Mn3+-isobutyric acid (IBA) in sulfuric acid was studied in the temperature range of 35-50°C. The overall rates of polymerization (Rp), disappearance of manganic ion (−Rm), and degree of polymerization (Xn), were measured with variation in [monomer], [Mn3+], [IBA], H+, μ, [Mn2+], and temperature. The polymerization is initiated by the organic free radical that develops from the Mn3+-isobutyric acid oxidation reaction. Two types of termination reactions, one by the metal ion (Mn3+) and the other by the MN3+-isobutyric acid complex are proposed to explain the kinetic results. The various rate parameters were evaluated an discussed.
