Abstract
The kinetic features of the copolymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate in the presence of ethylaluminum sesquichloride in toluene do not unequivocally distinguish between first- and second-order reactions. The reaction does not attain steady-state conditions. The course of the reaction is apparently influenced by many factors including the dissociation of the polymerizable complex into unreactive monomeric species and physical phenomena such as diffusion and dilution effects as well as matrix formation. The use of azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator indicates apparent bimolecu-lar termination but the kinetic curves show deviation from linearity.Keywords
