Conclusions
-
1.
The kinetics of the low-temperature reaction R. + O2 = RO .2 in polystyrene and a glass of its low-temperature analog, cumene, was studied.
-
2.
The limiting step is the migration of dissolved oxygen molecules. The reaction kinetics depends substantially on the inhomogeneity of the matrix.
-
3.
A method is proposed for the determination of the solubility of oxygen, not requiring large quantities of the substance and suitable for various types of samples (films, powders, fibers, etc.).
-
4.
The solubility of oxygen depends substantially on the structure of the sample and influences the rate of oxidation.
