Abstract: The acrylonitrile solution polymerization was discussed based on experiments and Monte Carlo simulation.The simulation results indicated that anionic active species also present in the system.The polymerization is a rapid initiation,and fast deactivation process,and in the polymerization system there are two chain transfer reactions to monomer and to macromolecules respectively.A set of polymerization reaction rate constants was obtained: ki=(0.053) L/(mol·min),kp=1.63 L/(mol·min),kd=0.005 8 min-1,ktrm=(0.052 L/(mol·min)),ktrp=0.075 L/(mol·min),kpp=0 L/(mol·min).
