Polymerization of methyl acrylate (MA), initiated by p ‐acetyl benzylidene triphenylarsonium ylide ( p ‐ABTAY) in dioxan at (60 ± 1)°C for 1 h, follows nonideal kinetics ( R p ∝ [I] 0.21 [M] 1.40 ) due to primary radical termination as well as degradative chain transfer reaction. The polymerization proceeded upto 20.49% conversion without gelation and results in the polymer of high molecular weight 98,000. The overall activation energy and the value of k p 2 / k t are 14 kJ mol –1 and 18.75 × 10 –6 L mol –1 s –1 , respectively. The ylide dissociates to form phenyl radical, which initiates the polymerization of MA. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
