Differential Thermal Analysis (Smothers, W. J.)

Abstract

over-all chain mechanism, the mathematical treatment of chain reactions and finally chapters containing detailed accounts of selected examples of spontaneously explosive reactions and addition polymerization mechanisms.In the reviewer's opinion Professor Dainton has clearly realized his objectives of providing an introduction to the subject for students at the undergraduate or postgraduate level, and at the same time providing a stimulus to researchers in reaction kinetics and allied areas to delve further into the original literature on chain reactions.In short, chemists in all fields of kinetics, photochemistry, pyrolytic reactions, polymerization processes, explosions, etc., will find that "Chain Reactions" is one of those books that is a "must" in one's personal technical library.
