  • Department of Chemistry, University of Kalyani, Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal, (India) Manuscript received 14 .December 1917, revised 29 March 1918, accepted 8 May 1918 Ferrous - Chlorate redox system is a very powerful initiator for the aqueous polymerization of a number of vinyl monomers. With methylmethacrylate, polymerization takes place even in the presence of atmospheric oxygen giving nearly 70% conversion. Endgroups incorporated are hydroxyl and chlorine totalling to an average of one to one and half per chain. Based upon these finding~ a suitable mechanism of initiation has been proposed.
