Abstract: Poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) and its sodium salt of sow molecular weight were synthe-sized by using some redox initiator systems in which (NH4)2S2O8 was a main component,It was found that in acid solutions the resulted polymers were not crosslinked when FeSO4,CuSO4,or Na2S2O3 was present, In neutral solutions the (NH4)2S2O8-FeSO4-NaHSO3 ternary redox system was proved to be preferential for synthesizing Iow molecular weight PAA and conveniently controlling its molecular weight.

Key words: low molecular weight PAA, ammonium persulphate, ternary redox initiator system
