Heterophase homopolymerization

Individual rate constants for homogeneous and heterophase DADMAC homopolymerizations have been calculated from the kinetic models above. These constants are summarized in Table 4. The overall activation energies, also given in Table 4, are relatively high. These values likely result from the electrostatic repulsion between the positively charged radicals and the monomer cations.
