Selected for oral presentation. The simultaneous effect of magnetic field (MF) and electrostatic interaction on the kinetics and mechanism of the radical homo and copolymerization of water-soluble and ionic monomers was investigated. This contribution presents MF effects of 0.1 Tesla on the radical homo and copolymerization of ionic and ionized monomers. The practically important monomers acrylic acid (AA), its ionized form acrylate (A-), diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC), and acrylamide (AM) were selected for case studies.
