Experimental regularities of dimethacrylate postpolymerization

In Chapter 4 points of view on the postpolymerization process and mainly on the chemical mechanism of the monomolecular chain termination have been presented based on rather modest experimental material. In Chapter 7 more experimental data are presented, purposely obtained [1, 2] for the discovering of the nature of monomolecular chain termination. 

In order to discover the nature of monomolecular chain termination, the influence of the nature and the concentration of plastifying additives on the rate of dimethacrylate OCM-2 postpolymerization have been investigated. 

Kinetics of postpolymerization have also been investigated at 25°C, UV-illumination intensity of 37.4 wW and concentration of the photoinitiator 1 % (by mass). 

The following reagents have been used as plastifying additives
