Effect of Oxygen and Initiator Solubility on Admicellar Polymerization of Styrene on Silica Surfaces

Figure 4

Weight-averaged molecular weight (bars) and apparent conversion (circles) for the AIBN-initiated (red color) deoxygenated and (blue color) control admicellar polymerizations of styrene at M/I values of 15, 150, and 1000. Control samples at M/I = 1000 did not generate enough polymer for SEC analysis.
