Abstract
The photopolymerization of vinyl monomers by metal salt-saccharide system was investigated in various solvents. The rate of polymerization in the presence of a iron(III) salt in aqueous media was remarkably accelerated by the addition of saccharides. The acceleration caused by a series of saccharides was found to be in the following order: glucose > fructose > lactose maltose. α-Methyl-d-glucoside and sucrose exhibited very little effect. The overall activation energy for the photopolymerization of acrylonitrile in the presence of glucose was found to be 2.7 kcal/mole, about half of the value obtained in the absence of glucose.Keywords
