Abstract

The kinetics of polymerization of acrylamide (AM), acrylic acid (AA), and acrylonitrile (AN) initiated by the redox system Mn3+-diglycolic acid (DGA) was studied. All three systems followed the same mechanism; namely, initiation by an organic free radical arising from the oxidation of diglycolic acid and termination by the interaction of polymer radicals with Mn3+ ion. The rate coefficients ki/k0 and kp/kt were related to monomer and polymer radical reactivity, respectively. An inverse relation between monomer and polymer radical reactivity was observed. Monomers with higher Q values gave higher ki/k0 values but lower kp/kt values. The e values of the monomers were important in determining the reactivities of monomers with nearly the same Q values.
