Title: Critically Evaluated Database
of Kinetic Parameters for Free-Radical Polymerization
Coordinator(s): R.G.
Gilbert
Remarks: Commission IV.2
Completion Date: 1998
Objective:
Modeling and mechanism of free-radical polymerizations is important
for science and industry, but often completely different model assumptions
and parameter values are reported for ostensibly the same systems.
This project is rectifying this by international collaboration,
producing critically evaluated kinetic parameters whose values are
reliable and which can be used by the international community, thereby
fulfilling some IUPAC objectives. Reliable methodologies for this
were established by a preceding WP, Modeling of Polymerization Kinetics
& Processes. The first part of the project is to evaluate and carry
out additional measurements on propagation rate coefficients.
