Trapped radical

Consideration will be given now to the requirements of a matrix that radical stabilisation may occur and to the ways in which radicals may be introduced into the matrix. In order that stabilisation of active species may occur, it is desirable that the matrix material [Pg.332]

Radicals may be produced also by secondary reactions with a reactive matrix of the radicals first produced. For example, Milligan and Jacox have prepared HCO (DCO) by the photolysis of HI (DI) or H2S (D2S) in a matrix of solid carbon [Pg.332]

Finally mention should be made of an interesting and useful method, involving a rotating cryostat developed by Thomas et for the preparation of trapped [Pg.335]

The examples given show the way in which studies of trapped radicals can complement other investigations of intermediate species. The techniques now at the disposal of the chemist are such that any intermediate participating in a chemical reaction should be susceptible to detection, identification and quantitative estimation, although in many cases a great deal of persistence and good luck will be needed to achieve these objects. [Pg.336]

Bengough and Norrish observed this behaviour during vinyl chloride polymerization. They explained it by transfer to polymer chains on which immobile, long-lived and propagating radicals are formed. These centres decay by transfer to monomer or by termination with untrapped radicals from the liquid phase [47], According to these two authors, the acceleration is proportional to the surface area of the solid particles. A similar acceleration of polymerization was observed by Bamford et al. [18] with acrylonitrile [Pg.399]

Mickley et al. have proved that immobilization of radicals by occlusion predominates over transfer to polymer even in the polymerization of the strongly transferring vinyl chloride [49]. Currently, the occlusion theory is preferred for explaining autoacceleration in precipitating radical polymerizations. Transfer to polymer is of little importance for autoacceleration. [Pg.400]

For vinyl chloride polymerization in bulk, the rate equation [Pg.400]

The presence of the solid phase is not the only possible cause for radical immobilization. The matrix effect caused by retarded termination due to reduced radical mobility, is another example of polymerization acceleration (see Chap. 5, Sect. 2.2, Fig. 3). Under suitable conditions, the matrix effect can even be caused by solvents. [Pg.400]

Bolshakov et al. described low-temperature (100-130 K) polymerizations of acrylic acid, acrylamide, and methyl acrylate, in which radical mobility was strongly hindered by their specific interactions with the molecules of a melting alcohol matrix [50]. [Pg.400]


This situation is expected to apply to radical termination, especially by combination, because of the high reactivity of the trapped radicals. Only one constant appears which depends on the diffusion of the polymer radicals, so it cannot cancel out and may be the source of a dependence of the rate constant on the extent of reaction or degree of polymerization. [Pg.361]

A hindered phenol is one of the most common antioxidants used in urethanes. This antioxidant traps radicals, which can degrade the polymer chain. The proposed mechanism is as follows [87] ... [Pg.805]

The presence of trapped radicals has been detected in many irradiated polymers. In some cases radicals can... [Pg.494]

The trapped radicals, most of which are presumably polymeric species, have been used to initiate graft copolymerization [127,128]. For this purpose, the irradiated polymer is brought into contact with a monomer that can diffuse into the polymer and thus reach the trapped radical sites. This reaction is assumed to lead almost exclusively to graft copolymer and to very little homopolymer since it can be conducted at low temperature, thus minimizing thermal initiation and chain transfer processes. Moreover, low-molecular weight radicals, which would initiate homopolymerization, are not expected to remain trapped at ordinary temperatures. Accordingly, irradiation at low temperatures increases the grafting yield [129]. [Pg.495]

In spin trapping, radicals are trapped by reaction with a diamagnetic molecule to give a radical product.476 This feature (i.e. that the free spin is retained in the trapped product) distinguishes it from the other trapping methods. The technique involves EPR detection of the relatively stable radicals which result front the trapping of the more transient radicals. No product isolation or separation is required. The use of the technique in studies of polymerization is covered in reviews by Kamachi477 and Yamada ft a/.478... [Pg.134]

Nitrones arc generally more stable than nitroso-compounds and arc therefore easier to handle. However, the nitroxides formed by reaction with nitrones [e.g. phenyl /-butyl nitrone (109)]483 484 have the radical center one carbon removed from the trapped radical (Scheme 3.86). The LPR spectra are therefore less sensitive to the nature of that radical and there is greater difficulty in resolving and assigning signals. Nitrones are generally less efficient traps than nitroso-compounds.476... [Pg.135]

In PE, these trapped radicals have been identihed as, mainly, alkyl and allyl radicals with the stmctures (—CH2CHCH2—) and (—CH—CH=CH—) [134,135]. In the presence of oxygen, the polymeric radicals will react to form diperoxides and hydroperoxides, as well as certain amount of less stable peroxy radicals (—CH2OO ). [Pg.869]

Trapped radicals on samples with different storage conditions and reaction conditions are usually determined by ESR. Modification of PVC by radiation-grafting technique is an attractive method to improve the mechanical strength, printing ink adhesion, and adhesive receptance. Wang... [Pg.870]

The effect of antioxidants such as hindered phenohcs, secondary amine, and thioester on the radiation cross-linking efficiency of LDPE has been reported [260]. Amount of cross-linking at a given dose decreases with aU the antioxidants, the thioester being the most effective. IR absorption spectroscopy has been used to demonstrate dose-rate dependence of trani -vinylene unsaturation in irradiated Marlex 50 PE [261]. When the irradiated polymer is stored in vacuum a decrease is observed in trani-vinylene absorbance over a period of several weeks. After high dose-rate irradiation the decay is preceded by an initial increase. These phenomena have been ascribed to the reaction of trapped radicals. [Pg.876]

Ohnishi (Sakamoto etal., 1991) has described an oligomeric derivative of prostaglandin Bi (PGB2) and ascorbic acid. In a rat bilateral carotid occlusion-reperfiision injury complicated by haemorrhagic hypotension, this compound reduced a-phenyl-r-butyl nitrone (PBN) spin-trapped radicals and thiobarbituric acid-reactive products (TBARs) (a measure of lipid peroxidation) in isolated... [Pg.267]

Evidence in support of radical intermediates with MMO from both M. capsulatus (Bath) and M. trichosporium 0B3b was reported from experiments in which substrate radicals were trapped during turnover (89, 90). The amount of trapped radical, however, was not quantified in these experiments. In other reports, no diffusable radical species were detected in reactions with MMO from M. trichosporium 0B3b (61). [Pg.286]

In the absence of peroxides, or in the presence of compounds that would trap radicals, normal Markovnikov addition occurs. [Pg.390]

Host irradiated polymers show a continuing change in properties for a long period after irradiation. These post-irradiation effects may be attributed to (1) trapped radicals which react slowly with the polymer molecules and with oxygen which diffuses into the polymer (2) peroxides formed by irradiation in the presence of air or trapped within polymers irradiated in vacuum or an inert atmosphere) and slowly decompose with formation of reactive radicals, usually leading to scission, (3) trapped gases in glassy and crystalline polymers which cause localized stress concentrations. [Pg.12]

The consequences of post-irradiation effects in polymer materials are progressive reduction in strength, cracking and embrittlement. Some reduction in these effects can be achieved by annealing of the trapped radicals, addition of appropriate... [Pg.12]

The pre-eminent advantage of C-nitroso-compounds as spin traps is that in the spin adduct the scavenged radical is directly attached to the nitroxide nitrogen. Consequently, the esr spectrum of the spin adduct is likely to reveal splittings from magnetic nuclei in the trapped radical, and these will greatly facilitate its identification. A simple example is presented in Fig. 2, which shows the spectrum of the spin adduct of the methyl radical with 2-methyl-2-nitroso-... [Pg.12]

The problem of radical trapping is also relevant becanse radicals are often the primary products of ion-radical transformations. The radicals are, as a rnle, not stable, and special traps—radical and spin—are used to reveal them. [Pg.227]

Albini and co-workers were able to trap radicals by alkenes giving rise to two processes, namely the radical olefin addition-aromatic substitution and the addi-... [Pg.195]

Irradiation was performed with a similar lamp as used with DSC. Prior to irradiation the samples were flushed with nitrogen for 15 minutes. After the irradiation the samples were kept in the vessel overnight to allow for volume relaxation and decay of trapped radicals. Next a similar layer was prepared on the back of the substrate in order to obtain a symmetrical sample. [Pg.415]

When the samples polymerized at 20°C were heated in the dark to 80"C, additional reaction occurred 3, 2 and 1% conversion at 0.002, 0.02 and 0.2 mW.cm , respectively. This indicates the presence of trapped radicals which are remobilized by heating (9,15). After standing in air no aftercuring was observed. [Pg.416]

Figure 2 A schematic representation of track expansion is shown assuming different mobilities. (A) Spatial distribution of radical ions at the sites of initial thermalization. (B) When there is high mobility, that of a conductor is assumed, no radical ions are trapped on DNA. (C) If there is low mobility, some radical ions are trapped while others recombine. (D) At zero mobility, the spatial distribution of trapped radicals is the same as in the initial track, i.e., the same as in (A).

DNA, laced with an intercalator characterized by a high electron affinity, is y-ir-radiated and observed by EPR. The one-electron reduced intercalator presents an EPR spectrum that is readily distinguishable from that of the DNA-trapped radicals. A key example is mitoxantrone (MX), with an electron affinity of 6.25 eV and a radical anion spectrum that is a sharp singlet. Charges are injected into the DNA by y-irradiation at a preselected temperature (4 130 K). Holding the temperature constant, the EPR spectrum changes as a function of time (0.5-30 h). Thereby, a direct measure of the rate of electron transfer from one-electron reduced pyrimidines (Pryre) to the intercalator, e.g., MX, is measured. The turmeling rate is observed to depend on the electron affinity (EA) of the... [Pg.451]
