Abstract
The phase-transfer polymerization of methyl methacrylate with tetrabutylammonium chloride (TBACl)–Na2S2O4-CCl4 initiator system was investigated in an aqueous-organic two-phase system. The initial rate of polymerization (Rp) was found to be proportional to the fed quantity of TBACl and square root of the fed quantity of Na2S2O4 and CCl4. A cyclic phase-transfer initiation mechanism has been proposed to account for the experimental data.
