Bimolecular arrays, controlled

As already mentioned, the solid polymer is structurally nonuniform and represents an array of regions differed in packing of segments of macromolecules, density, and molecular mobility. If some physical (diffusion of the gas or dilute) or chemical processes (decomposition, recombination of particles, bimolecular reaction) occurs in the polymer, the polymer is as if a set of microreactors in each of which the process occurs with its intrinsic rate characteristics. Since in the polymer the reaction occurs in the rigid cage, all bimolecular processes controlled by both diffusion and kinetics occur in different microvolumes of the polymer in different ways.
