Abstract

The results of Monte Carlo simulations of the kinetics of the three-dimensional free-radical polymerization of tetrafunctional monomers (TFM) in terms of the formation of a unitary three-dimensional structural element (UTSE) are presented. The process is simulation on 103 → 503-sized cubic lattices with walls of different activity with respect to free radicals. Changes in the degree of UTSE polymerization, number of crosslinks and cycles, mechanisms of chains crosslinking and cyclization and other parameters caused by changes of the conditions of three-dimensional free-radical polymerization of TFM, as well as the difference between the effects of active and inert walls, are reported.
