Abstract

A recently developed automatic continuous, online monitoring technique was used to follow bulk photo-polymerization of methyl methacrylate without chromatographic columns. The technique furnishes the monomer conversion, reduced viscosity and the weight average polymer mass M", as functions of time. Cross correlation of these quantities were also obtained.
