Question (4a) Draw the generic equilibrium for an ATRP polymerization. Make sure to include all rate Constants. (b) Use this equilibrium to derive an equation for the rate of an ATRP polymerization. (c) While nitroxide mediated polymerization has been shown to be effective for the polymerization of styrene, it is less so for methacrylate monomers. State why that is, and draw the mechanism for any side-reactions that you use in your answer.
