Popis: | The radical polymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) with α-picolinium p-chlorophenacylid (α-PCPY) as initiator using carbon tetrachloride as inert solvent was investigated at 50°C. The polymerization follows ideal kinetics: the exponent values calculated for the initiator and monomer were found to be 0.5 and unity, respectively. A free radical mechanism with bimolecular termination was confirmed by the inhibiting effect of hydroquinone, a radical quencher. The rate of polymerization was a direct function of initiator (α-PCPY) concentraction, monomer (AN) concentration and temperature. The overall activation energy calculated was 56 kJ/mol. The polymerization was favoured by polar solvents and retarded by non-polar solvents. |
