Abstract
The radical polymerization of butadiene and isoprene in the presence of 4,4′-azobis-(4-cyanovaleric acid) and 4,4′-azo-bis-(4-cyanopentanol) has been studied at 70°. The ratio kp/kt12 for these monomers has been determined in acetone. The rate constants of decomposition and the efficiency of initiation of these initiators were calculated from the conversion-time curve, using the method of iteration.
