Abstract

In search of a reliable flow polymerization, group transfer polymerization (GTP) of methyl methacrylate (MMA) using gas–liquid droplet flow by argon and fully continuous flow was compared. The Đ values of polyMMA under the argon droplet flow were consistently lower than those of the fully continuous flow.
