Anomalous polymerisation rates of moderately hydrophilic monomer

Abstract

Data from two different QENS spectrometers at ANSTO (Emu and Pelican) and the Quokka SANS instrument for N-vinyl pyrrolidone and N,N-dimethylacylamide, in bulk and at different concentrations in aqueous solution. Molecular dynamics simulation data for the same materials in aquoeus solution and bulk. Data investigates the structure and dynamics of the systems to test the hypothesis of partitioning arising from the robust short-range order of liquid water resulting in theobserved anomalous polymerisation rate dependency on concentration for this class of materials.
