Abstract

For the complex radical reaction systems of reactive processing the kinetics of the rate determining initiator decomposition is of preeminent importance. Thermal decomposition of initiators takes place here in nonisothermal regime. Simplified kinetic treatment shows how the important characteristics—e.g. the temperature at which the initiation rate has maximum value—relate to the Arrhenius parameters of initiator decomposition and rate of temperature increase. The results give orientation for optimization of conditions in reactive processing.
