Kinetics of Radical Polymerization. L Investigation of the Radical Bulk Polymerization of Vinyl Acetate by the Rotating Sector Method

Abstract The chain propagation and termination rate coefficients of vinyl acetate radical polymerization were determined by the rotating sector method at 25°C. the values determined are in good agreement with those of Kwart, Matheson, and Swain. the chain termination rate coefficient essentially differs from that determined by Burnett.
