Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Time dependence of the conversion of acrylamide (AAm) initiated with potassium peroxodisulfate (KPS) was examined at various [AAm] and [KPS] in W/O microemulsions of 1,4-bis(2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulfobutanedioate in cyclohexane media at 45 °C. The rate of polymerization (Rp) calculated from the conversion-time profiles yielded the following equation: Rp ∝ [AAm]1.0[KPS]0.5. From these values of reaction orders for AAm and KPS, it was found that the polymerization of acrylamide in W/O microemulsions can be regarded as normal radical polymerization and biradical termination between polymer radicals.</jats:p>
