The graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate upon gelatin was studied using benzoyl peroxide as an organic initiator in aqueous medium. The grafting reactions were carried out within the 65-90°C temperature range, and the effect of monomer and initiator concentrations on the graft yield were al

✦ Synopsis
The rates of decomposition of benzoyl peroxide have been studied in water alone and in the presence of the components of graft copolymerization bath, viz. diphenyl and acrylic acid, in the temperature range of 363-403 K. Kinetic parameters such as reaction order for the peroxide, preexponential factor, and activation energy were evaluated from experimental data. The implication of these results to the initiation of graft copolymerization of acrylic acid onto polyester fabrics is discussed.

Mixtures of cyclopentadiene diluted with argon were used to investigate its decomposition pattern in a single pulse shock tube. The temperatures ranged from 1080 to 1550 K and pressures behind the shock were between 1.7 -9.6 atm. The cyclopentadiene concentrations ranged from 0.5 to 2%. Gas-chromato
