Few would dispute that the study of the termination reaction has turned out to be the most
difficult aspect of radical polymerization kinetics. However it is an aspect that may not be …

Many properties (eg, film formation) of a polymer depend on the full molecular weight
distribution (MWD) as well as on the averages of this distribution. Moreover, the MWD …

In situ 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been used to directly
investigate the processes that occur during the early stages (typically the first few monomer …

This is the first publication of an IUPAC‐sponsored Task Group on “Critically evaluated
termination rate coefficients for free‐radical polymerization.” The paper summarizes the …

Arrhenius parameters for the transfer constant to monomer (CM) for the free-radical
polymerization of butyl acrylate (BA) are determined by a combination of techniques. A …
