Notes:
The solvent effect on radical Polymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by copper(II) 2-aminoethanolate (Cumea) or by the system Cumea-reducing agent (H2NCH2CH2OH, CCl4) is discussed. In the first case, where the initiating radical is formed from a Cumea-MMA complex, the solvent influences the equilibrium of the complex-forming reaction and thus also the initiation reaction. Further, in this system also primary radical termination and degradative chain transfer are operative. In the initiation by the system Cumea-reducing agent, the non-ideal course of polymerization is due to primary radical termination and degradative chain transfer.
