26. n = 150 for the resulting polymer, suggesting that propagation is 150 times faster than chain transfer. Under these conditions the fraction of monomeric radical is very small.
27. Chain transfer between the methyl isobutyryl radical 3 and 1 can be ignored not only because the fraction of 3 is very small, but because the rate constant of chain transfer from 3 (eq 13) is smaller than that from chain-carrying radicals (eq 2) (see ref 7).
