Abstract
The kinetics of decomposition of azobisisobutyronitrile [AIBN] was studied in various solvents, in solutions of low density polyethylene [LDPE] in 1,2,4 trichlorobenzene and in blends of dimethyl formamide and glycerol in various proportions. The effect of the nature of the solvent as well as viscosity on the decomposition of AIBN was investigated. The results were analysed both in terms of the Arrhenius equation and transition state theory. The existence of an isokinetic temperature was unequivocally established. Viscosities of the solutions did not influence the rates of decomposition so long as the initiator was soluble in the medium.
