Propagation rate coefficient for acrylic acid polymerization in bulk and in propionic acid by the PLP–SEC method: experiment and 3D simulation

The kp values for acrylic acid polymerization in bulk and in propionic acid are found to depend on the number of laser pulses used in PLP experiment and decrease from bulk value upon dilution with propionic acid.

Investigating the propagation kinetics of a novel class of nitrogen-containing methacrylates via PLP-SEC

The Mark–Houwink–Kuhn–Sakurada parameters as well as Arrhenius parameters of the propagation rate coefficient for a new group of nitrogen-containing methacrylates were determined via triple detector SEC and pulsed laser polymerization–size exclusion chromatography, respectively.

The effect of LiNTf2 on the propagation rate coefficient of methyl methacrylate

LiNTf2 catalyses the propagation step of methyl methacrylate radical polymerization but this catalysis hinders stereocontrol.

Determination of vinyl acetate propagation rate coefficients via high frequency pulsed laser polymerization

New data on the propagation rate coefficient, kp, of vinyl acetate (VAc) are obtained via the IUPAC recommended method of pulsed laser polymerization - size exclusion chromatography (PLP-SEC) operated at 500 Hz laser repetition rate. An apparent dependency of the experiment’s outcome on the laser pulsing rate is identified with kp being about 25 % larger at 500 Hz compared to 100 Hz. The temperature dependence of kp was determined to fit ln kp = 17.12 - 2621 K/T; data is in generally good agreement with literature values when the previous underestimation of kp by 100 Hz laser pulsing experiments is taken into account.
