Globally, experimental results correspond to predicted ones. Low polymerization temperature using ADMVN and a heterogeneous system using methanol proved to be successful in obtaining poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVCZ) of high molecular weight and high conversion with small temperature rise during polymerization, although free radical polymerization by azoinitiator was used. The polymerization rate of VCZ in methanol at 30 degreesC is proportional to the 0.88th power of ADMVN concentration. The molecular weight is higher and the molecular weight distribution is narrower with PVCZ polymerized at lower temperatures. For PVCZ produced in methanol at 30 degreesC using an ADMVN concentration of 0.0001 mol/mol of VCZ, a weight average molecular weight of 1 750 000 g mol(-1) is obtained, with a polydispersity index of 1.82 (C) 2000 Society of Chemical Industry.
