Moire state

Figure 11.9. The moire state. The thick tubes running in the z-direction are columns, while the dark lines are stacked honeycomb arrays of screw dislocations. The intersection of these columns, with any constant z cross-section away from the hexagonal defect arrays, has the topology of a triangular lattice. (Reprinted with permission from Fhys. Rev.

Therefore, the concentration of macroradicals builds up asymptotically to its maximum steady-state concentration. Margerison and East analyzed this equation for the polymerization of styrene, in benzene solvent, with 2,2 -diazobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) and [I]o = 1 x 10" moir. For these conditions, taking fet=7.2 x 10 morMs" the maximum (i.e., steady-state) value of [R"]max= 1-8 x 10 moir is reached in a few seconds. Thus, first [R ] increases and when the concentration becomes large enough, the rate of initiation buildup becomes equal to the rate of bimolecular termination and the steady state is reached. This is shown in Figure 11.
