- Abstract
The article presents a study which proposed a modified frontal polymerization method to develop a uniform reaction front by immersing the reacting mixture gradually in a thermal bath. The researchers compared the molecular weight distributions of poly(methyl methacrylate)s obtained by bulk polymerization, frontal polymerization, and frontal polymerization with the proposed gradual immersion. The obtained uniformity was found to be directly related to a stabilizing effect of the reaction front.
