Orders by monomer and initiator at polymerization of isoprene in solution of ethylacetate under the action of hydrogen peroxide have been determined. The order by monomer is equal to 1.49 ± 0.03, by initiator – 0.46 ± 0.05. Unlike polymerization in solution of isopropyl alcohol, a process in ethylacetate proceeds in homogeneous solution.
Methacrylic azomonomers based on para-aminoacetanilide suitable for preparation of liquid crystal (LC) photoaligning functionalized polymers were synthesized. Azofragments include various aromatic rings: benzene, naphthalene, 8-oxyquinoline, and thiazole derivatives. The kinetics of polymerization of synthesized azomonomers was studied. Efficient polymerization constants K of thermo-induced radical polymerization are presented. The relative activities r1 and r2 were calculated by the Fineman-Ross method.
