The most popular thermal initiator is 2, 2 -azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), with a half-life (ti/2) of 1 h at 81 °C and 10 h at 65 °C in toluene [8,21]. Generally, 5-10 mol% of initiator is added either all in one portion or by slow addition over a period of time. There are other azo compounds which can be chosen, depending on the reaction conditions. Indeed, the nature of the substituent play an important role as can be seen for 2, 2 -azobis-(4-methoxy)-3,4-dimethyl-valeronitrile (AMVN), with a ti/2 of 1 h at 56 °C and 10 h at 33 °C in toluene. There are also hydrophilic azo compounds, such as 2, 2 -azobis-(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (APPH), with a ti/2 of 10 h at 56 °C in water. 

Diorganyl tellurides add to alkynes via a radical mechanism in the presence of a catalytic amount of a radical initiator such as AIBN or 2,2 -azobis(4-methoxy-2,4-dimethyl-valeronitrile) (In), as well as under irradiation by visible light (tungsten lamp), affording vinylic tellurides in a variable ZIE ratio." ... 

Commonly used catalysts are 2,2 -azobisisobutyronitrile, or organic peroxides. 2,2 -Azobis(4-methoxy-2,4-dimethyl valeronitrile) is the most preferred catalyst (7). 

Ethenyl acetate (vinyl acetate, Vac) is polymerizable only by radical species. Until recently, the polymerization of any monomer was out of control because of the unavoidable occurrence of irreversible termination reactions. In 1995, Matyjaszewski and Sawamoto and coworkers reported that the deleterious impact of these irreversible reactions could be minimized by acting on the kinetics of both the propagation and the termination reactions. Indeed, a decrease in the instantaneous concentration of radicals ([M ]) decreases much more importantly the termination rate (proportional to [M ] ) than the propagation rate (proportional to [M ]). A scheme proposed consists in converting reversibly radicals into unstable covalent species ( dormant species). The last radically polymerizable monomer to fall under this type of kinetic control was vinyl acetate. Indeed, very recently Debuigne and coworkers proposed to polymerize Vac by 2.2 -azobis-(4-methoxy-2,4-dimethyl)valeronitrile (V-70) in the presence of cobalt(II) acetyl acetonate [Co(acac)2]. Under these conditions, a linear relationship is observed between... 

The methyl methacrylate-itaconic acid copolymer, P(MMA-co-ItaA), was prepared by slow free-radical solution polymerization in methanol under nitrogen using 2,2 -azobis-(2,4-dimethyl valeronitrile)(du Pont Vazo 52) as initiator. The molar ratio of monomer to initiator was in the range of 5xl03 to 10xl03. Reaction at 50°C for 30 to 40 hrs gave conversions of 10 to 30%. The reaction mixture was added to cold, deionized water and the precipitated polymer obtained was rinsed with 2-propanol. 

Polymerisation mode [90]. Owing to its ease of use, radical polymerisation is the most frequent. The crucial question is to determine how to carry out this polymerisation-crosslinking step with minimum disturbance of the complex already in place. Choices must be made, for instance in radical polymerisation, the radicals can be generated at 60 °C (a,a -azoisobutyronitrile - AIBN) or 45 °C (with azobis valeronitrile - ABDV) which could cause heat destabilisation of the complex, or at 4 °C with low-temperature photochemical radical production (AIBN, 360 nm). Comparative studies on recognition specificity have shown that the photochemical approach gives the most specific materials [91]. 

Z-L-Asp(OH) -L-Phe-OMe is available from Indofine Chemical Co. (Somerville, NJ, USA). Z-L-Aspartic acid, Z-D-aspartic acid, L-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride and D-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride are from Sigma (St. Eouis, MO, USA). Acetic anhydride, methacrylic acid, 4-vinylpyridine, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate are from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany). 2,2 -Azobis(2,4-dimethyl-valeronitrile) is fromWako Pure Chemicals Industries (Osaka, Japan). Anhydrous acetonitrile for polymer preparation is obtained from Eab-Scan (Dublin, Ireland). 

Thus, different free radical initiators may be preferred according to monomer and process. Dilauryl peroxide and diisopropyl peroxidicarbonate were mostly used previously for the polymerization of vinyl chloride, but bis(4-f-butyl cyclohexyl)peroxidicarbonate and bis(2,4-dimethyl)valeronitrile are presently being used in increasing amounts. Azobisisobutyronitrile and azobis(2,4-dimethyl)valeronitrile have also been partially replaced by peroxidicarbonates in Japan. Peroxidicarbonates are also being increasingly used for the free radical polymerization of ethylene. 

Lyoo used a low-temperature initiator, 2,2 -azobis(2,4-dimethyl-valeronitrile), to polymerize N-vinyl carbazole in a heterogeneous solution in a mixture of methyl and t-butyl alcohols [247]. The polymer that formed has the M molecular weights >3 x 10 . The author emphasized that this method provides ultrahigh-molecular-weight polymer and conversions greater than 80%. 

N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (DMAEMA) by an SPG emulsification technique [34]. The process consists of two steps - emulsification and polymerization. The oil phase containing monomers (styrene and DMAEMA), hexadecane (HD) and an initiator N.hf-azobis (2,4-dimethyl valeronitrile) (ADVN) is pressed by nitrogen gas through the SPG membrane into the aqueous phase. The aqueous phase contains stabilizer polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), surfactant sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), electrolyte Na2S04 and water-soluble inhibitor (NaN02 or diaminopheny-lene). The emulsion obtained is then transferred to a separate reaction kettle and polymerization is started by raising the reaction temperature to 70 °G. After 24 h, microcapsules with uniform size are obtained. 

Figure 4 shows the effectiveness of the cathodic solution in protection of squalene (5). When the oxidation of squalene dispersed in the cathodic and NaCl solutions was induced by 1.0 mM of AAPH Figure 4, (A) and (B)), the rate of formation of total peroxides in the NaCI solution was much higher than that in the cathodic solution (Figure 4, (A)). The same result for the antioxidant effect of the cathodic solution was obtained by analyzing the decrease in the unoxidized squalene upon oxidation (Figure 4, (B)). The cathodic solution also inhibited the aqueous oxidation of squalene induced by 5.0 mM 2,2 -azobis (2,4-dimethyl-valeronitrile) (AMVN) (Figure 4, (C) and (D)), but the effect of the cathodic solution on AMVN-induced oxidation was weaker than that on AAPH-induced oxidation.
