Equilibrium deaggregation

The experimental verification of this relation indicates a rapid establishment of the deaggregation equilibrium, which is shifted far to the left (the concentration of free BuLi must be very small). The degradation intermediates are also inactive. Table 6 shows that similar dependences have also been observed with the polymerization of isoprene and the dimerization of 1,1-diphenylethylene in fluorene [150]. 

These deaggregated particles are in the state of partial equilibrium their aggregation is thermodynamically unfavorable, while isothermal mass transfer and coalescence, leading to a decrease in degree of dispersion, are possible. At the same time, if isothermal mass transfer does not occur within realistic observation time periods, the equilibrium from partial turns into complete the...
