31. The formation of radicals from 4,4′-azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid) and subsequent polymerization of the styrenyl groups to effect SCK formation appears to occur by a combination of heat and light. The temperature within the Rayonet photochemical reactor was ∼50°C, at which 4,4′-azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid) has a half-life > 100 h. Heating the reaction solution at 50°C did not result in SCK formation, neither did irradiation at room temperature.
32. The densities were approximated from known densities of PS (1.05 g/mL) and PVP (1.14 g/mL) and from percentages of PS and PVP in each SCK. Densities for 7, 8, and 9 were calculated to be 1.11, 1.10, and 1.08 g/mL, respectively.
