    Reaction of Nitrates with Liquid Sulphur Dioxide

    IT has been known for some time that inorganic nitrates catalyse the formation of polysulphones from liquid mixtures of olefines and sulphur dioxide1, but the mechanism of catalysis has never been clarified. It i...

    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...
