The polymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) using the Ce(IV)-citric acid (CA) redox system as an initiator in aqueous nitric acid solution, in the presence of an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), has been kinetically studied at a temperature range of 25-45°C. The rate of polymerization (Rp) and disappearance of Ce(IV) (-Rce) increase with increasing concentration of SDS, above its critical micelle concentration (cmc), when the surfactant molecules are organized. Rp was found to be proportional to [AN]1.5 and [CA]0.5. With other organic substrates, Rp follows the increasing order of sorbitol ≥ mannitol 〉 glycerol 〉 CA. But it was found to decrease considerably in the presence of cationic surfactant (CTAB), and nonionic surfactant (Triton-X-100) had no effect on the rate. -Rce varies linearly with [Ce(IV)] and [CA]. Both Rp and -Rce increase with increasing temperature. The overall activation energy was found to be 18.31 and 13.72 kcal/mol in the absence and presence of 0.015M SDS, respectively. The chain length of the polyacrylonitrile has also increased with increasing SDS concentration. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
