Abstract
We consider the propagation of a plane polymerization wave in an infin ite mass assuming that the temperature dependence of the reaction rate is a function of the type of exp Theta - 1. Existence conditions for a steady regime are determined. It was found that, for a continuous he at-release function, the minimum possible velocity of the wave is give n by two diifferent analytic dependences that transform into one anoth er continuously for some critical value of the dimensionless adiabatic temperature. An approximate analytic expression for the temperature p rofile of the wave is obtained.
