The polymerization of methyl methacrylate to high conversion in the presence of a series of disilanes as chain-transfer agents was studied, and the chain-transfer constants at low and high conversions were determined. The molecular-weight characteristics of the polymers were estimated by gel permeation chromatography.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
