    Reversibility of the Propagation Reaction in Polymerization Processes and its Manifestation in the Phenomenon of a ‘Ceiling Temperature'

    ALL addition polymerizations are exothermic and involve a decrease in entropy. The heat of reaction (q = ΔH) and the decrease in entropy (—ΔS) per mole of monomer polymerized really refer to the values of these q...

    Effect of Gamma- and X-Rays on Dilute Aqueous Solutions of Acrylonitrile

    THE immediate effect of the absorption of highenergy radiation (α-, β-, γ- and X-rays, fast protons, deuterons, etc.) by water is the ejection of electrons from the water molecules lying along the tracks of th...
