Abstract:Reactions of polyisoprene, polybutadiene and polyoctenamer in o-xylene with dibenzoyl peroxide and dicumyl peroxide were investigated by measuring the apparent viscosity qa of the solutions with a coaxial cylinder viscometer. As a new effect a "pre-maximum" in the increase of qa with reaction time was found. Possible reasons for the pre-maximum being due to the measuring device could be excluded. The dependence of the pre-maximum on the reaction conditions was investigated. A probable explanation of the pre-ma… Show more
