Download or read book Inhibition of Chain Reactions written by V V Azatyan and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2000-07-06 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text explores nonbranching reactions, including in-depth information on the inhibitors of free radical polymerisation and the mechanisms of antioxidants on oxidationprocesses. Auto-initiated chain reactions are also explored, with detailed descriptions on the kinetics, mechanisms, and inhibition of the autoxidation of organic compounds, A special chapter deals with the synergism of antioxidant actions. The theory of chain-branching reactions is investigated, and a large amount of new experimental data concerning the use of chemical additives to regulate combustion processes is also presented, including the mode of chain thermal explosion.
