Ai. Aleksandrov et al., CHEMICAL PROCESSES FOLLOWING MECHANICAL PULSE ACTION ON POLYEPOXIDE RESINS DOPED WITH COBALT AND NICKEL ACETATES, Russian chemical bulletin, 46(9), 1997, pp. 1546-1548
The action of elastic wave pulses from a rheological explosion on soli
d glassy polyepoxides, including those doped with Co2+ and Ni2+ comple
xes, leads to the generation of stable dimethylbenzyl radicals. The st
ructures of the polyepoxides and the concentration of Co2+ and Ni2+ co
mplexes in them have an effect on the mechanochemical yield of these r
adicals and on the pressure al which the rheological explosion occurs.
