Notes:
Methyl, ethyl, and n-butyl acrylates and methacrylates are polymerized by electroinitiation in methanol-, ethanol-, and n-propanol-electrolyte mixtures in which the monomers are soluble whereas the polymers obtained are insoluble. The technique of changing the polarity of the electrodes described earlier was used. The relationships between molecular weights and polymer yields as function of current density, initial monomer concentration and dielectric constant of the solvent are described. A kinetic scheme for the initiation, propagation, and termination is given.
