Free radicals historical background

This is the introductory chapter which sets the stage for those that follow. We start by attempting the definition of the term free radical together with a very brief historical background. This is followed by brief overviews of some of the types of radical that might be encountered in biological systems. 

With a brief historical background and general principles of free radical chemistry applicable to organic and aqueous media, we shall next turn our attention to the study of radical chemistry in aqueous media as its applies to organic synthesis and use the concepts that will emerge as the foundation upon which the rest of the material will rely and build upon. 

A review is presented of the literature on the protection of rubber against ozone. Particular attention is paid to the historical background, ozone formation, chemistry of the ozone-rubber reaction, physical requirements for ozone cracking, physical methods of ozone protection, chemical antiozonants, chemical antioxonants for polychloroprene, mechanism of action of chemical antiozonants, chemistry of the reaction of ozone and p-phenylenediamine, free-radical mechanism, and critical stress and antiozonants. 88 refs.
