Ce(IV) salt‐malonic acid or citric acid initiator systems were used for the polymerization of acrylamide in the presence of electrolysis. This allowed Ce(III) to be converted to Ce(IV) during polymerization. Graphite, silver, chromium/nickel, lead, platinum and stainless‐steel electrodes were used. The highest polymerization yield was obtained with a stainless‐steel electrode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
