The kinetics of methyl methacrylate polymerization in the presence of alpha,omega-functional polydimethylsiloxanes is investigated. The formation of polymer suspensions with a narrow particle-size distribution is explained by the ability of the surfactants to form strong adsorption layers in the interfacial layers of polymer-monomer particles. This assumption is confirmed by data obtained via the Langmuir method with the use of model systems: thin films of the mentioned organosilicon compounds.
