The rate of polymerization of a methacrylate monomer was influenced by the molar ratio of benzoyl peroxide to an aromatic tertiary amine accelerator when the product of the concentrations of these was kept constant. The maximum rate, measured as the minimum gel time, occurred in monomer solutions containing about 1.5 moles of peroxide per mole of amine.
