Methyl acrylate has been photopolymerised to high conversions in the range 25–60°C. and the characteristics of the gel effect observed have been explained by radical occlusion in the highly viscous polymerising system. The simple kinetic analysis introduced in earlier papers is not applicable here without the inclusion of extra factors to account for the prolific branching and crosslinking pertaining in the bulk polymerisation of this monomer.
