by considering both monomolecular and bimolecular me-chanism of cyclopolymerization,the following kinetic relation was obtained:一d[M]-d[m]一A+B-[M] where [M] is the monomer concentration,[m] is the pendent double bond concentration and both A and B are constants.This equation was verified further in this report by polymerizing methacrylic anhydride under different temperatures.In all cases,一d[M]-d[m] gave a linear relation with 1/[M] as expected,and the intercepts of the plots obtained were 2.9,2.15 and 1.7 at temperatures of 60°,40°and 25℃ respectively.It was also found that the values of the ratio of the bimolecular rate to the monomolecular rate were 2.7 [M],2.0 [M] & 1.4 [M] at 60°,40°and 25℃ respectively and thus decrease as temperature decreases.The energy of activation of bimolecular cyclopolymerization was found tO be 3.7 kcal/mole higher than that of monomolecular reaction.
