Notes:
The dependence of the rate of emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate on the concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate has been studied using the Mx+-N2H5OH system as initiator (where Mx+ is Cu2+, Fe3+, and Mn3+). It was found that the rate dependence on soap concentration was different for each initiator. The extent of this variation was: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {\rm Rp }\alpha {\rm }\left[ {{\rm Soap}} \right]^{0.18 - 0.55} $$\end{document} The variation is large enough to show that the dependence of the rate of emulsion polymerization on soap concentration is not simply a function of the solubility of the monomer in water, as had been suggested by Gershberg.
