Abstract:The kinetics of the polymerization of 1,3-dioxepane (DH) with the catalytic system A1(C2H5)3/Hz0 was studied. The dependence of the polymerization rate Ro of the monomer DH(M) may be represented by the equation:The kinetic scheme which verifies the obtained results is that which takes into consideration in the starting period of the polymerization the existence of chain transfer to the monomer. The decrease of the polymerization rate and the diminishing of the intrinsic viscosity at high conversions points to … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
