| Abstract: | The kinetics of polymerization of acrylonitrile initiated by potassium peroxodisulfate in neutral and acid conditions was studied. Rp depended upon S2O8 2-]1/2 and monomer]3/2 both in neutral and acid solutions. The influence of ionic strength and the cata-lytic effect of Ag+ on the System are discussed. Suitable mech-anisms are proposed. |
