Abstract
The radical polymerization of ethylacrylate by Anthracene iodine charge transfer complex in DMSO at 600C for 60 mins under inert atmosphere of nitrogen using dilatometric technique was studied .The initiator and monomer exponent value are 0.5 and unity respectively. The system followed ideal kinetics. The poymerization was inhibited in the presence of hydroquinone. The energy of activation was 42.02 kJ. The structure of polyethylacrylate was confirmed by FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The results are explained in terms of a radical mode of polymerization with degadative initiator transfer, the principal mode of termination was bimolecular
