The study of chain transfer in the free‐radical polymerization of ethylene was extended to very reactive transfer agents, particularly aldehydes and mercaptans The chaintransfer constant Cs for aldehydes was insensitive to temperature changes but was strongly reduced as pressure was increased. Mercaptans were found to deplete during polymerization (Cs > 1.0). The conventional Mayo equation was integrated to allow accurate calculation of Cs for depleting transfer agents.
