title: Unprecedented solvent-induced acceleration of free-radical propagation of methyl methacrylate in ionic liquids.
abstract: The rate of propagation in the free-radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate in an ionic liquid has been determined and shows unprecedented solvent-induced acceleration, partially explaining the surprising increase in overall rates of polymerization and molecular weights in these solvents.
