ABSTRACT

Acrylamide is conveniendy polymerized in aqueous solution lo a water soluble polymer. The measurements of kinetic parameters of polymerization of acrylamide, in aqueous and micellar solution, have been earned out by conduction calorimeter. The polymerization is initiated by sodium sulfite and sulfite-persulfate redox system. The effect of initiator and monomer concentration as well as temperature and surfactants on polymerization rale constant has been investigated. The analog thermogram method has been employed to calculate the rate constants. The activation energy is calculated from Arrhenius relationship and molecular weights are determined by viscometry. Rate equations have been derived and reaction mechanism hove been suggested. The rate of reaction is found to increase with temperature and monomer concentration.
