Abstract
A calorimetric study has been made of the susceptibility of difurfurylideneacetone (DIFA) and its oxidized product to thermal polymerization. It has been established that the oxidation process takes place only on the surface of the crystals. An x-ray structural study of DIFA crystals has shown that solid-phase thermal polymerization takes place in the crystal matrix through one of the two ethylenic bonds of the molecule under conditions of topochemical control.
