P. Mannucci, STUDY OF THE MATHEMATICAL-MODEL FOR A POLYMERIZATION PROBLEM, Mathematical models and methods in applied sciences, 5(4), 1995, pp. 457-471
We analyze a mathematical model for a problem concerning the cementati
on of an endomedullary infibulum. The cement used is a polymer that so
lidifies in situ generating heat. We consider a problem in cylindrical
symmetry in which the degree of polymerization and the temperature ar
e the unknown functions. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a cl
assical solution global in time.
