Abstract

The variation of viscosity with conversion was determined for a series of five experiments carried out at 120°C and different dilutions. Styrene was the monomer chosen for this study and MONAMS, a monoalkoxyamine based on N-tert-butyl-N-(1-diethylphosphono-2,2-dimethylpropyl)-N-oxyl (SG1), served as initiator. Unexpectedly, the rate constant of termination 〈k t〉 was found to vary with the initial dilution of the medium, but to remain unchanged with the viscosity build-up induced by monomer conversion.
