Up to date, problems exist with the determination of k p values with respect to acrylates. The pulsed laser polymerization (PLP) data published so far only give consistent values of k p for temperatures below 30°C for acrylates. Recently, new insights in acrylate reactions seem to offer a plausible explanation for the failure of the pulsed initiation polymerization (PIP) experiment for acrylates that will be discussed here.
