An extremely sensitive instrument for ESR measurements in liquid media was developed on the basis of a new principle of registration of the ESR signals. By means of this device the spectrum of macroradicals of polymerizing styrene was recorded, and the stationary concentration of growing chains was measured quantitatively. Thus the first direct data for the chain propagation constant of the radical polymerization of styrene were obtained.
ZUSAMMENFASSUNG:Fur ESR-Messungen an fliissigen Systemen wurde ein a d e r s t empfindliches Gerat mit einer neuartigen Registriermethode entwickelt. Hiermit wurde das ESR-Spektrum der Makroradikale in polymerisierendem Styrol registriert ; aus diesem wurde die stationare Konzentration der wachsenden Ketten quantitativ bestimmt. Dies sind die ersten, unmittelbar bestimmten Werte fur die Kettenwachstumskonstante bei der Polymerisation von Styrol.
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.
