✦ Synopsis

The kinetics of decomposltlon of azoblslsobutyromtrlle [AIBN] was studied m various solvents, m solutions of low density polyethylene [LDPE] in 1,2,4 trlchlorobenzene and m blends of dlmethyl formamlde and glycerol m various proportions The effect of the nature of the solvent as well as vlscoslty on the decomposltlon of AIBN was investigated The results were analysed both m terms of the Arrhemus equation and transitIon state theory The existence of an isokmetlc temperature was unequivocally estabhshed Vrscosltles of the solutions did not mfluence the rates of decomposltlon so long as the mltlator was soluble m the medium
