| Abstract: | The rate of vinyl chloride polymerization initiated by doubly labeled benzoyl peroxide ('H in the phenyl ring and 14C in the carboxyl group) in dichloroethane solution was measured by a dilatometric method. The relative significance of primary radical termination in polymerization is examined by kinetic analysis of the polymerization rate data and analysis of the polymer samples recovered at 10% conversion for combined initiator fragments. |
