Methyl methacrylate photopolymerization was investigated in the presence of group components isolated from road asphalt D35. It was observed that all asphalt group components, particularly asphaltenes, had an inhibiting influence on the degree of MM conversion. Based on results of measurements of the viscosity‐average relative molecular mass of the fractions isolated from the reaction products, we can make a hypothesis that asphaltenes perform a role as polyfunctional chain conveyors.
