摘要
The absolute rate constants of propagation and termination (k(p) and k(t)) for radical polymerization of diethyl fumarate (DEF) were evaluated to be 0.015 and 164 L mol-1 s-1, respectively, by means of a rotating-sector method at 30-degrees-C. The average lifetime of the propagating radical was 166 s under the present polymerization conditions, and the steady-state concentration of the radical was estimated to be as high as 3.6 x 10(-5) mol L-1. The presence of the polymer radical in such a high concentration was also confirmed by ESR spectroscopy. The exceptionally small k(p) and k(t) values were accounted for by the inherently less reactive nature of poly(DEF) radical, probably arising from considerable steric hindrance and slow diffusion of the polymer radical. Because the small rate constants are compensated by the high concentration of the radical, the rates of propagation and termination rationalize high-polymer formation.
