The Arrhenius parameters of the propagation rate coefficient, kp, are determined employing high‐frequency pulsed laser polymerization–size exclusion chromatography (PLP–SEC) for the homologous series of five linear alkyl acrylates (i.e., methyl acrylate (MA), butyl acrylate (BA), dodecyl acrylate (D...
