STATIONARY STATE CRITERION FOR FREE RADICAL POLYMERIZATION FOR LINEARLY INCREASING REACTION TEMPERATURE

Abstract

The kinetics of free radical polymerization were treated theoretically under the assumption that the reaction temperature increases at constant rate (T = const). From The Arrhenius relationships for the kinetic rate constants, approximate corresponding functions of time were derived, which transformed the kinetic equations accordingly. A differential equation describing the sum of the concentrations of all free radicals appearing in such a system was solved by approximation, and from the resulting series the conditions for the lower as well as the upper bound of the stationary state assumptions were obtained.
