In my case dimethylformamide was used as the solvent and an equimolar solution of methyl methacrylate and ethyl methacrylate was used. Moreover, the photocatalyst that was used was Tris(2,2'-bipyridil) dichloruthenium (II) hexahydrate.
It will depend upon initiator concentration, monomeric (methacrylate)concentration, time, temperature etc. Why are you using equimolar mixture ?
Dear all, the answer will depend whether the question is concerned by conventinal radical polymerization or by recent living/controlled polymerization ones. Among many factors that are detrimental: presence of oxygen (inhibition/retardation) and transfer reactions. My Regards
If you want to synthesize your compound by the free radical polymerization method please read the Rudin Book in the chapter on the investigation free radical polymerization method overall, initiator, concentration, monomeric amount, and time, the temperature is very important (the question is concerned with conventional radical polymerization)
or with recent living/controlled polymerization, you need the other parameter.
