Abstract

a- Methylstyrene was polymerized in the pur and mixed solvents, using sulphuric acid as catalyst.
Rate of polymerization increased as dielectric constant of the solvents increased.
The molecular weight of poly a- methylstyrene did not change in the pur and mixed sol¬vents.
It was also seen that the plots of log Rp against D and (D-l) /(2D + 1) gave the straight lines.
