Peroxy radicals INDEX

Figure X-B-2 shows the representation in CRI-MECH of the initial stages of the oxidation of pentane and its linkage with the oxidation of butane. The figures in brackets refer to the number of C— H and C—C bonds in each compound and, therefore, to the maximum number of ozone molecules that can be generated. Each compound name contains a number, which also refers to the maximum number of ozone molecules that can be formed. Thus, pentane contains 4 C—C bonds and 12 C—H bonds and so has an index of 16, as does the peroxy radical formed by H-abstraction, since it still has the potential to form 16 O3 molecules. The index is reduced by one for the peroxy radical formed by subsequent reaction with NO and then O2, since one NO NO2 conversion has occurred. The labeling of the compounds, e.g., RN1602 and CARB13...

Figure 9 Refractive index profiles of Gl POFs prepared with various amounts of radical initiator added to the core solution. In the experiment, poly(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate), benzyl benzoate, and fert-butyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate were utilized as the base polymer, dopant, and initiator, respectively.
