Abstract

Methods which allow, for the first time, the study of the kinetics of true, homogeneous, gas phase, chain polymerization are described. The detection mechanism involves nucleation and growth of clusters. Reaction rates lower than one product molecule per cubic centimeter per second are measured. The reaction is therefore noisy. The scientific importance of such measurements is elaborated. Limitations of the present scheme of measurement are discussed and plans for improving the level of precision are outlined.
