AB - THE KINETICS OF POLYMERISATION PROCESSES THE KINETICS OF POLYMERISATION PROCESSES. PART 11. BY GEOFFREY GEE. Received 3rd February, 1936, In an earlier paper the kinetics of polymerisation processes was discussed, and reasons were advanced for the view that in many cases a steric factor is the important factor in controlling the size of the final polymer. A similar view has been put forward by Rawn,2 while Dostal and Mark do not consider that the steric factor can be much affected by chain length. It is perhaps necessary to point out here that the definition of “steric factor” employed in Part I. leads to an unusual interpretation of the reaction velocity constants. The equations are there derived in terms of the number of molecules n,. of the polymer M,, reckoned in terms of the monomer, so that n, is proportional’ to the mass of M, and the velocity constant k,. (for the addition of M to M,) is thus defined in terms of the masses of the reactants. To transform from this system to the more conventional one which employs molecular concentration it is clearly necessary to introduce a factor ~/r. The net result of carrying out this process is
