The kinetics of polymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by Ce(IV)-Vanillin redox system was studied in aqueous solution of sulfuric acid at 40°C. The rate of polymerization (Rp) and the reaction orders with respect to monomer, initiator and ligand have been determined and found to be 1.5, 0.5 and 0.5 respectively. The effect of concentration of sulfuric acid on the polymerization was also studied. The rate of polymerization was found to increase with increasing temperature 30–60°C and decreases at higher temperature (>60°C). The overall activation energy (Ea) was found to be 36.7 kJ/mol. A suitable kinetic scheme has been proposed.

The kinetics of oxidation of 1,4-dioxane by persulfate ion with Ag+ in aqueous solutions at various temperatures and concentrations of S<sub>2</sub>O<sub>8</sub><sup>2-</sup>, Ag<sup>+</sup> and H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>, were investigated. Experimental results indicate that 1,4-dioxane degradation follows a pseudo-firstorder decay model and that reaction rate significantly accelerate by increasing temperature and concentration of oxidant, sulfuric acid and Ag<sup>+</sup> ions up to 0.46 mM; for the range from 0.46-0.70 mM of Ag<sup>+</sup> ions the reaction rate remains constant and at higher concentrations the reaction rate decreases. It was possible to degrade approximately 100% of 1,4-dioxane in less than one hour with the following conditions: [Ag<sup>+</sup>] = 0.46 mM, H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>] = 0.30 M and from a concentration of 25 mM Na<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>.

The kinetics of polymerization of isoprene in benzene initiated with ethyl-, propyl-, butyl-, hexyl-, octyl-, 2-butyl-, 3-hexyl-, 2-octyl-, and 6-methylheptyllithium was investigated. With the exception of ethyllithium , a distinct initial induction period decreasing steeply with increasing concentration of the initiator was observed for all n-alkyllithium initiators. No induction period was observed with the other initiators. The reaction orders decreased at the highest concentrations for most of the initiators, sometimes even to negative values. In the case of ethyl-, 2-butyl- and octyl-lithium this phenomenon has not been observed in the range investigated.
