A comprehensive, one-of-a-kind reference on free radical initiators!
The Handbook of Free Radical Initiators presents an up-to-date account of the physicochemical data on radical initiators and reactions of radical generation.
Part I is devoted to initiators of free radicals; coverage includes different mechanisms of decomposition of initiators, the cage effect that accompanies decomposition in liquids and solid polymers, and methods of study of initiator decomposition.
Part II addresses bimolecular reactions of free radical generation, including those of retrodisproportionation, of paraffins and olefins with haloid molecules, and bimolecular and trimolecular reactions of RH with dioxygen, ozone, and nitrogen dioxide.
Part III collects data on the mechanism and rate constants of reactions of free radicals formed from initiators.
Professionals and academic researchers in chemical engineering, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, plastics, and rubbers will find the Handbook of Free Radical Initiators to be a distinguished, vital resource.
