Abstract
The polymerization of methyl methacrylate with Micrococcus lysodeiplicus was carried out in water, and the reaction was found to proceed through a radical mechanism. The effects of the quantity of reagent on the rate of polymerization and selectivity of vinyl monomer were studied. The change in the sectional view of the polymerization system was observed with a transmission electron microscope.
