15. (a) Although most reagents are freshly distilled for each reaction, the as-purchased initiator was used as a stock solution for a single series of experiments. This gave more reproducible and consistent results than distilling the initiator each time, especially for the polymerization in solution. Thus, the absolute concentrations of the active initiator species would be smaller than ones actually introduced (the reported values).
16. (b) There is an indication that shearing of the reaction mixture during polymerization causes the polymer to be adsorbed strongly.
