Abstract
The kinetics of a chemical reaction depends on the mechanism involved in the reaction. This makes it possible to probe the mechanism of polymer grafting and crosslinking reactions by considering their kinetics, and conversely, to predict the kinetics of these reactions from mechanistic information. The mechanisms by which graft and crosslinked polymer networks are generated may be classified on a physical basis, in terms of relative dimensions of the species reacting, or on a chemical basis, in terms of the chemical nature of the intermediate in the reaction.
