Stationary state of frontal radical polymerization processes

Physical causes of the absence of steady-state heat regimes of frontal radical polymerization of vinyl monomers at a nonzero rate of chemical transformations of initial reaction media are discussed. The effect of the dimensionless "cutting" temperature of a heat-generation source on the relative velocity of poly-merization front propagation is studied. There is an interval of "cutting" temperatures of the source where the velocity of polymerization front propagation is independent of the "cutting" temperature of the source. As for combustion processes, the front velocity depends on dimensionless parameters that are intrinsic for the heat regime of the process.
