Gordon s equation

As the first step, we have taken the gelation of diallyl dicarboxylates for the following reasons (a) Simpson et al. have unsuccessfully attempted to check Gordon s equation, including a formal allowance for cyclization [30], against... 

Subsequently, Simpson et al. [31] attempted to check Gordon s equation against diallyl dicarboxylates other than DAP. In all cases, gelation occurred at a conversion higher than the value predicted, the discrepancy being considerably greater than could be accounted for by experimental error.

Thus, we calculated the theoretical gel points for the polymerizations of DAP, DAI, and DAT from Gordon s equation (Eq. (4)) using P = 2Pn,o and r = 2Rus,o- Table 3 summarizes the results obtained, along with those reported by Simpson et al. [31] the values estimated by us were lower than those of Simpson.

The paper of Gordon describes a model for diffusion-controlled reaction based on the "hole concept in liquids of Jost (Ref 1, p 459). in which the activation energy for diffusion is equated simply to pV. The marked effect of density, therefore, results from the strong dependence of pressure on density (p varying about as the density cubed) and the appearance of this factor in an exponential term. On this basis, Gordon derived an approximate expression for dependence of detonation velocity D on explosive density pQ. This equation is given on pp 833 and 836 of Gordon s paper. From this expression the critical diameter dc for composite explosives is related to an exponential function of density by ... 

Incidentally, the telegrapher s equation (17) with x = ihjlmc2 is satisfied by the Klein-Gordon (also Dirac) wavefunction for a free particle, if the factor exp [—(ijh)mc2f is split off from it. Thus, the time lag according to relativity corresponds to an imaginary relaxation time x. 

As already discussed at the end of Section 2.2.3, we derived a universal superposition principle from a complex symmetric ansatz arriving at a Klein-Gordon-like equation relevant for the theory of special relativity. This approach, which posits a secular-like operator equation in terms of energy and momenta, was adjoined with a conjugate formal operator representation in terms of time and position. As it will be seen, this provides a viable extension to the general theory [7, 82]. We will hence recover Einstein s laws of relativity as construed from the overall global superposition, demonstrating in addition the independent choice of a classical and/or a quantum representation. In this way, decoherence to classical reality seems always possible provided that appropriate operator realizations are made. 

Equation (5) or (5b) is the highly important deduction of Harkins-Smith-Ewart theory. Its validity has been fully confirmed for many cases of polymerization (19). Furthermore, although it is difficult to determine the nvimber of particles, Np, accurately (19) this simple relationship has been used to determine the absolute value of the rate constant, kp, satisfactorily for the polymerization of butadiene and isoprene by Smith (20) and by Morton et al.(21). Conditions where the rate of polymerization is not proportional to the number of particles are where Trommsdorff s effect (22-24) or Gordon s unsteady state (25) principles apply. However, the existence of linear portions of the conversion-time plots proves the absence of these principles in this system. 

Equation (5-27), also known as the Gordon-Taylor11 equation, has found wide application to random amorphous copolymers. Figure 5-10 shows the experimental results for a series of styrene-butadiene copolymers along with the corresponding Tg s calculated from equation (5-27) with k = 0.34. (See problems at the end of this chapter for additional equations.)...

Turning to polymer solutions, an identical equation to Wood s equation is the Gordon-Taylor equation, as written in Fig. 7.69 (Wj = Mj, 1 - M2 = Mj, etc.). This equation was proposed to account for the glass transition in case of volume-additivity of the homopolymers. If this condition holds, the constant k should be PiAa2/p2Aa, where p represents the densities and the Aa the change in expansivity at the glass transition of the homopolymers.

Both equations are easily generalized to PVT equations of state assuming that the solution can be based on additivity of the homopolymer properties. The Gordon-Taylor equation, in contrast, is recovered from DM ifL assumes the value Y2wl yiO- - w)] where y represents the number of the respective flexible bonds. Finally, to add effects of specific interactions, the Gordon-Taylor equation has been expanded into a virial equation in terms of the variable u)2c which is the expansivity-corrected mass fraction of equation 41 [m 2c = Lw2 K.w + Lw2) - This is the Schneider equation, S, written as... 

Having introduced the principles of special relativity in classical mechanics and electrodynamics as well as the foundations of quantum theory, we now discuss their unification in the relativistic, quantum mechanical description of the motion of a free electron. One might start right away with an appropriate ansatz for the basic equation of motion with arbitrary parameters to be chosen to fulfill boundary conditions posed by special relativity, which would lead us to the Dirac equation in standard notation. However, we proceed stepwise and derive the Klein-Gordon equation first so that the subsequent steps leading to Dirac s equation for a freely moving electron can be better understood.
