Modeling of Polymerization Kinetics and Processes—from Voting to Toting

Abstract

AbstractThe reaction at the heart of radical polymerization is:Termed propagation, it now occurs to the tune of a stupendous 100 million tons per annum. It is therefore no surprise that right from the moment the mechanism of radical polymerization was first elucidated, which was in the late 1930s, there has been strong interest in determining propagation rate coefficients,
