TL;DR: In this paper, the photodegradation of thin poly(para-tert-butylstyrene) with 265 nm radiation in the presence of oxygen, and as a function of irradiation time, has been studied using fluorescence, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, and ultraviolet visible spectrograms.
Abstract: The photodegradation of thin films of poly(para-tert-butylstyrene) with 265 nm radiation in the presence of oxygen, and as a function of irradiation time, has been studied using fluorescence, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The influence of phthalate and terephthalate plasticizers on photo-oxidative degradation was also investigated. Blending with phthalate plasticizers was found to cause a higher efficiency of degradation than that obtained for doping with terephthalate plasticizers. The intensity of absorption was also found to increase with time of irradiation and in the intensity of a new absorption band at longer wavelength, thus indicating a possibility of photodegradation of polymer films. The analysis of the Fourier transform-infrared spectra of the irradiated and non-irradiated samples showed an increase in the intensities of the carbonyl and hydroxyl regions of the Fourier transform-infrared spectra providing evidence for the photodegradation as well as the photo-oxidation of polymeric chains. The increase in the analyzed ranges is attributed to the formation of alcohols, aliphatic ketones and to the increase in the number of polyene structures that resulted from hydrogen abstraction during photodegradation reactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanism involving the formation of a complex between Mn3 and malonic acid whose decomposition yields the initiating free radical with the polymerisation being terminated by mutual interaction of growing radicals has been suggested.
Abstract: Kinetics of vinyl polymerisation initiated by the redox system malonic acid/Mn3⊕ have been investigated in the temperature range of 5-15°C in sulphuric acid and perchloric acid media for acrylonitrile and methyl methacrylate. A mechanism involving the formation of a complex between Mn3⊕ and malonic acid whose decomposition yields the initiating free radical with the polymerisation being terminated by mutual interaction of growing radicals has been suggested.
Es wurde die Reaktionskinetik der durch das Redoxsystem Malonsaure/Mn3⊕ initiierten Vinylpolymerisation von Acrylnitril und Methylmethacrylat im schwefelsauren und perchlorsauren Medium im Temperaturbereich von 5-15°C untersucht. Es wird ein Mechanismus vorgeschlagen, welcher die Bildung eines Komplexes zwischen Mn3⊕ und Malonsaure vorsieht. In dem vorgeschlagenen Mechanismus wird das Startradikal durch Zerfall des Komplexes gebildet, und die Abbruchreaktion erfolgt durch eine Radikalkettenabbruchsreaktion der wachsenden Polymerketten.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the rate of free radical polymerization can be determined as a function of the electron-accepting properties of the chelate derivatives of the metal acetylacetonates.
Abstract: SELECTIVE FREE-RADICAL INITIATION Selective initiation of free-radical polymerization is, as far as I am aware, a novel phenomenon Conventional initiators such as benzoyl peroxide and azo-bis-isobutyronitrile, which produce active radicals, are not significantly discriminating in their behaviour towards different monomers, provided these can be polymerized by a radical mechanism; indeed the rate of initiation by azo-bis-isobutyronitrile at a given concentration is essentially the same for a number of common monomers12 Recent work3 has revealed the existence of a type of initiator which is strongly selective, the rate of initiation apparently depending on the electron-accepting properties of the monomer Our interest in selective initiation of free-radical polymerization arose during studies of initiation by chelate derivatives of metals, which will now be described briefly Three groups of workers have shown that certain metal acetylacetonates can act as sources of initiating radicals4-6 Both Kastning et al5 and ourselves6 have pointed out the relatively high activity possessed by manganic acetylacetonate Mn"(acac)a compared to the simple chelates of other metals At 80°C the rate of polymerization w of bulk methyl methacrylate is given as a function of chelate concentration by the equation

TL;DR: Manganese(III) acetylacetonate, in the presence of a suitable electron donor such as dimethyl sulphoxide, is an active, selective, initiator of free-radical polymerization at 25°, the order for the monomers studied being acrylonitrile > methyl methacrylate > styrene as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Manganese(III) acetylacetonate, in the presence of a suitable electron donor such as dimethyl sulphoxide, is an active, selective, initiator of free-radical polymerization at 25°, the order for the monomers studied being acrylonitrile > methyl methacrylate > styrene: suggested mechanisms for selective and nonselective components of the reaction involve ligand displacement.
