Abstract
It is important to rule out the possibility that stage II monomers can homopolymerize under the reaction conditions to somehow lead to the effect observed in the experiments in Chap. 10. The presence of significant levels of homopolymerization could also lead to the possibility of chain transfer and radical initiation on the polymer backbone, which could still lead to potentially similar effects as would be produced by trapped polymer radicals.
