SynopsisThe kinetics and the molecular weight distribution in the radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of a cobalt complex of hematoporphyrin tetramethyl ether is investigated. The whole complex of experimental data indicates the new kinetic phenomenon-catalyzed chain transfer to monomer. The possible mechanism of the chain transfer and the chain transfer agent regeneration acts is suggested.
