Polymerization of methacrylamide initiated by different redox pairs in presence and absence of oxygen-a kinetic study

摘要

The literature survey reviles that the polymerization of methacrylamide has been studied employing various redox pairs. Little work has been reported on the vinyl polymerization initialed by vanadium(v)/reductant redox pairs, but literature search revels that so for Vanadium(v)/ascorbic acid and Vanadium(v)/cysteine hydrochloride redox pairs have not been employed for the polymerization of methacrylamide. The most sticking feature of vanadium(v)/ascorbic acid redox pair is that the polymerization proceeds under atmospheric oxygen.
