If equal concentrations of acrylonitrile (C 3H 3N) and methyl methacrylate ( C5H8O2) were each polymerized at temperature of 60 degree Celsius, with equal concentration of the same initiator,
Determine which monomer will have the higher degree of polymerization (DP) and by how much? (Assume polyacrylonitrile undergoes termination only by radical combination and poly(methyl methacrylate) by disproportionation,that no chain transfer occurs, and that initiator efficiencies are the same. )
