The nonequalities of the reactivity and the micro‐environment of propagating radicals has been found in MMA bulk polymerization. This nonequal reactivity results from varying rates of diffusion in different micro‐surroundings. The decrease of radical reactivity is caused by the trapping of the segments around the propagating radical.
