Resumen:
Diisopropyl fumarate (DiPF), a representative monomer of dialkyl fumarates, was polymerized by microwave irradiation at three different powers (140, 210 and 280 W) using a domestic microwave oven. The kind  and concentration of initiators (2,2´-azobisisobutyronitrile, AIBN and benzoyl peroxide, BP), power and energy of microwave irradiation on the conversion, weight average molecular weight (Mw) and polydispersity index (Mw/Mn) were analyzed. The results indicate that the microwave conditions have a significant non-thermal effect enhancing the polymerization rate of DiPF.
