Polymerization of Acrylonitrile: Kinetics of the Reaction Initiated by the Mn3+/Ascorbic Acid Redox System

TLDR
In this article, the authors investigated the polymerization of acrylonitrile initiated by the Mn3+/ascorbic acid redox system in aqueous sulfuric acid in the temperature range of 30-45°C.
Abstract
Vinyl polymerization of acrylonitrile initiated by the Mn3+/ascorbic acid redox system was investigated in aqueous sulfuric acid in the temperature range of 30–45°C. The rate of polymerization Rp and the rate of Mn3+ ion disappearance were measured. The effect of additives like water -miscible organic solvents, neutral salts, complexing agents and different surfactants on the initial rate of polymerization were investigated. Depending on the results obtained, a suitable reaction mechanism is suggested which involves the formation of a complex between Mn3+ ion and the acid whose decomposition generates the initiating free radical, with the polymer chain being terminated by mutual combination of the growing chains.
