Ey. Davydov et al., Application of radical cage reactions for studies of the microstructure ofpolymers and composites, USP KH, 69(10), 2000, pp. 981-992
The potentialities of radical cage reactions as a tool for the investigatio
n of polymer physical structure are considered. The kinetic regularities of
reactions of triplet carbenes in the martix-isolated state and in clusters
are analysed to reveal the structural features of the cage surroundings. T
he possibility of determination of the structural characteristics of filled
polymers from kinetic data is discussed.
