Modelling of crosslinking and cyclization in free‐radical copolymerization of vinyl/divinyl monomers
Abstract
Abstract The Tobita‐Hamielec kinetic model of the crosslink density distribution is further elaborated and extended to incorporate divinyl loop formation. Divinyl loop formation, primary and secondary cyclization, and their effects on the elastically effective crosslink density distribution are extensively examined as a function of cyclization parameters and double bond reactivities. Under conditions of equal double bond rectivity and …
