Collision, co-ordination, diffusion and reaction velocity in condensed systems

Vitrification during the Isothermal Cure of Thermosets: Comparison of Theoretical Simulations with Temperature‐Modulated DSC and Dielectric Analysis

“…The chemical and diffusion rate constants can be combined into overall rate constants, k tot (1,2) , by means of the Rabinowitch equation: [19] ( )…”

Some Basics En Route to Isoconversional Methodology

“…The idea was originally explored by several workers, including Rabinowitch [36], who proposed that the characteristic time of a process can be defined as the sum of the characteristic time of the reaction act and the characteristic time for reactants to diffuse toward each other. In the simple case of a first-order reaction, the characteristic times can be replaced with the reciprocal rate constants 20) where k ef , k, and k D , respectively, are the effective, reaction, and diffusion rate constants.…”

Diffusion-controlled reaction mechanisms during cure in polycarbonate-modified epoxy networks

“…[19][20][21][22][23][24] The diffusion limitation to the Theories and Background cure kinetics can be evaluated using the Rabinowitch model for the kinetic constants 25 : Diffusion-controlled phenomena in epoxy cure kinetics have been studied using various approaches, including most often analyses based on 1…”
