“…Hussain et al . [3] studied kinetics with dimethyl formamide, CCl 4 and electron donors such as methyl amines and cyclohexamine. They reported that no polymerization took place in the absence of CCl 4 and the molecular weight of poly-MMA decreased with increase in concentration of cyclohexamine.…”

The charge transfer polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in presence of n-butyl amine (nBA) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as solvent was experimentally investigated. The variables include concentrations of MMA, nBA, CCl 4 , DMSO and reaction temperature. The effect of these variables on monomer conversion, number and weight average molecular weights is discussed. A reaction mechanism is proposed and overall kinetics, propagation, chain transfer and termination constants are evaluated. A mathematical model is proposed for estimating monomer conversion, number and weight average molecular weights. The proposed model is validated using the kinetic constants and compared satisfactorily with experimental data of the present study.  2009

“…The kinetics of polymerization of vinyl monomers initiated by the charge-transfer mechanism in the presence of CCl 4 have been studied by many investigators [6][7][8][9][10][11] and different mechanisms for the reactions have been proposed. Rh III and Ru II complexes have also been reported to accelerate the rate of polymerization of vinyl monomers initiated by the charge-transfer mechanism [12].…”
