For a wide variety of homopolymerizations and for many copolymerizations, reliable propagation rate coefficients, k(P), are accessible via the IUPAC-reconiniended method of PLP-SEC (pulsed laser polymerization-size-exclusion chromatography). For termination rate coefficients, k(t). the situation is less favorable. Even for very common monomers, no k(t) benchmark data sets are available. Moreover, instead of having one recommended technique for measuring k(t). there are a plethora of such methods. Seventeen of the most prominent approaches for measuring k(t) are here reviewed, including innovative ones that have emerged over the last decade. The methods have been subdivided into two categories: (i) 'Kinetic methods', in which analysis of the time dependence of concentrations is essential, and (ii) 'MWD methods', in which the analysis of the molecular weight distribution plays the dominant role. The methods are evaluated with respect to their potential for providing routine access to measuring k(t) as a function of monomer conversion and of free-radical chain length. Moreover, it has been considered whether expensive instrumentation or highly demanding analysis is required for a particular method and whether a method is applicable to many types of monomers. A table summarizes all these evaluations in a readily accessible form. The use of kinetic methods appears to be generally preferable over MWD-based methods. The largest potential is currently seen for methods in which polymerization is induced by a single laser pulse and where the subsequent time evolution of either monomer concentration or free-radical concentration is measured.

This hydrogen shift reaction was found in case of TMBPP.

Within RAFT-SP-PLP, the polymerization induced by a laser single pulse is monitored via near-IR spectroscopy with a time resolution of microseconds. In RAFT-CLD-T, isothermal reaction rate measurements are carried out via DSC under stationary polymerization conditions. The resulting k(t) data refer to the situation of living/controlled radical polymerization, where both radical chain length and monomer conversion increase during the course of the reaction. The RAFT-SP-PLP measurements were carried out at 60 degrees C and two pressures, 5 and 1000 bar. The RAFT-CLD-T experiments were run at ambient pressure and at two temperatures, 60 and 80 degrees C, respectively. In absolute value, the termination rate coefficients for identical pressure and temperature deduced from the two methods differ by less than a factor of 2. For the dependence of k(t) on chain length, i, almost identical information is provided by the two techniques. The chain-length dependence of kt may be described by the power-law expression k(t)(i) = k(t)(1,1)i(-alpha) with, however, a being different for short-chain and long-chain radicals. RAFT-SP-PLP yields alpha(1) = 1.25 for the short-chain regime from 1 < i < 30, and alpha(2) = 0.22 for chain lengths above i = 50. RAFT-CLD-T results in alpha(1) = 1.04 and alpha(2) = 0.20 in identical chain length regimes. kt(1,1) values are found to be close to 1 x 10(9) L mol(-1) s(-1)."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1021/ma051485k"],["dc.identifier.isi","000233225600015"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/49541"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Amer Chemical Soc"],["dc.relation.issn","0024-9297"],["dc.title","Chain length dependent termination in butyl acrylate free-radical polymerization studied via stationary and pulsed laser initiated RAFT polymerization"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

It begins by illustrating the stark reality that there is large and unacceptable scatter in literature values of k(t), and it is pointed out that some reasons for this are relatively easily, remedied. However, the major reason for this situation is the inherent complexity of the phenomenon of termination in free-radical polymerization. It is our impression that this complexity is only incompletely grasped by many workers in the field, and a consequence of this tendency to oversimplify is that misunderstanding of and disagreement about termination are rampant. Therefore this paper presents a full discussion of the intricacies of k(t): sections deal with diffusion control, conversion dependence, chain-length, dependence, steady state and non-steady state measurements, activation energies and activation volumes, combination and disproportionation, and theories. All the presented concepts are developed from first principles, and only rigorous, fully-documented experimental results and theoretical investigations are cited as evidence. For this reason it can be said that this paper summarizes all that we, as a cross-section of workers in the, field, agree on about termination in free-radical polymerization. Our discussion naturally leads to a series of recommendations regarding measurement of k(t) and reaching a more satisfactory understanding of this very important rate coefficient.
