Polymerization Kinetics by Means of Differential Thermal Analysis. Part II. Derivation of Rate and Enthalpy Equations

摘要

Rate equations and enthalpic parameters were derived for use in differential thermal analysis (DTA) of polymerization reactions. General free radical polymerization kinetics are discussed and the existence of a 'stationary state' under DTA conditions was demonstrated, by comparison of a theoretical computer curve, based on stationary state assumption, with actual experimental conditions. These curves appear to be almost superimposable. (Author)
