As observed for aqueous solutions of other monomers, k(p) decreases significantly towards higher monomer concentration. For methacrylamide, a higher activation energy and a larger volume of activation are found as compared with N,N-dimethylacrylamide. These two activation parameters are almost identical for N-methylmethacrylamide and for N,N-dimethylacrylamide. [GRAPHICS] .journal_article10.1002/macp.201300357000325613600005
