Rate laws continued homogeneous reactions

All of the above solid rubber-modified epoxy resins visually displayed clearly biphasic morphological properties (i.e., discreet rubber domains in a continuous epoxy matrix). If there is a reaction between a rubber moiety and an epoxide, it would best be studied in a homogeneous reaction mixture. Lower molecular weight epoxy resins are more compatible with CTBN elastomers and will form homogeneous solutions at elevated temperatures. Reaction of an epoxide with a reactive moiety contained in the elastomer, R, will most likely obey the following rate law ...
