Summary
Acrylamide was polymerized by both thermolysis and photolysis of the 4,4′-azo-bis-(4-cyanovaleryl)-bis-(m-chlorobenzoyl) diperoxide as initiator. The molecular weight and the conversion depend on polymerization duration and initiator concentration. The sequential character of the initiator was proved by the two stage polymerization of acrylamide when the obtained molecular weights were twice as compared to those of the one stage process.
