ABSTRACT
The kinetics of mono- and multifunctional polymerization up to the high conversion state are characterized both by general and differential characteristics of the process. The main general ones are: (i) the S-like shape of the kinetic curves, indicating the presence of autoacceleration and autodeceleration processes; (ii) a great post-effect, that is, in the dark after UV-illumination, stopping the postpolymerization process observed from the autoacceleration stage; and (iii) a high (to https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> 10 - 1 m o l / m 3 https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429087776/fd8345ce-ad1a-43cb-89f8-05462fc52018/content/eq1766.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> ) concentration of radicals discovered by EPR-spectroscopy in situ until the end of the polymerization process [1–8].
