Kinetic measurements in a flow apparatus in combination with conductance measurements, permit the determination of the two equilibrium constants Kes and Kdiss* and the three propagation rate constants k(±)c, k(±)s and k(−) as a function of temperature. The great differences in the polymerization rate in various solvents are mainly caused by their influence on the equilibrium constants. The influence of the solvent on the rate constants is not greater than in other chemical reactions.
