Abstract
With the use of the competitive inhibition method and ESR spectroscopy, it is shown that, in pseudoliving radical polymerization, the rate constant of decomposition of PS and poly(acrylic acid) adducts with nitroxide radicals significantly increases as the polarity of a medium increases. This phenomenon opens a new approach to the activation of chains in nitroxide-mediated polymerization.
