Kinetics and modeling of free radical polymerization of N-vinylformamide
Abstract
Free radical polymerization kinetics of N-vinylformamide was investigated in bulk and in aqueous solution. The molecular weight development with N-vinylformamide conversions was measured using a gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The bulk process showed a typical “gel effect” from the beginning of the polymerization. The molecular weight increased steadily at low conversion and leveled off at high conversion. In the solution polymerization, …
