  2. Curing (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curing_(chemistry)

    In many cases, the resin is provided as a solution or mixture with a thermally-activated catalyst, which induces crosslinking but only upon heating. For example, some acrylate-based resins are formulated with dibenzoyl peroxide. Upon heating the mixture, the peroxide converts to a free radical, which adds to an acrylate, initiating crosslinking.

  3. Boudouard reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudouard_reaction

    2 from its component elements is almost constant and independent of the temperature, while the free energy of formation of CO decreases with temperature. [3] At high temperatures, the forward reaction becomes endergonic , favoring the ( exergonic ) reverse reaction toward CO, even though the forward reaction is still exothermic .

  4. Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-propagating_high...

    The process is so exothermic (ΔH = -515 kJ/mol) that the LiI evaporates, leaving a residue of GaN. With GaCl 3 in place of GaI 3, the reaction is so exothermic that the product GaN decomposes. Thus, the selection of the metal halide affects the success of the method. Other compounds prepared by this method include metal dichalcogenides such as ...

  5. Exothermic reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exothermic_reaction

    An energy profile of an exothermic reaction. In an exothermic reaction, by definition, the enthalpy change has a negative value: ΔH = H products - H reactants < 0. where a larger value (the higher energy of the reactants) is subtracted from a smaller value (the lower energy of the products). For example, when hydrogen burns: 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g ...

  6. Olefin metathesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olefin_metathesis

    The initial result was disappointing as reaction of CpTa(=CH−t−Bu)Cl 2 with ethylene yielded only a metallacyclopentane, not metathesis products: [44] But by tweaking this structure to a PR 3 Ta(CHt−bu)(Ot−bu) 2 Cl (replacing chloride by t-butoxide and a cyclopentadienyl by an organophosphine, metathesis was established with cis-2 ...

  7. Thermal runaway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_runaway

    Chemical reactions involving thermal runaway are also called thermal explosions in chemical engineering, or runaway reactions in organic chemistry.It is a process by which an exothermic reaction goes out of control: the reaction rate increases due to an increase in temperature, causing a further increase in temperature and hence a further rapid increase in the reaction rate.

  8. Bulk polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_polymerization

    The problem of heat transfer is compounded by the highly exothermic nature of free radical addition polymerization. The polymerization is obtained with a broad molecular weight distribution due to the high viscosity and lack of good heat transfer. very high molecular weights are obtained. Gel effect.

  9. Cross-linked enzyme aggregate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-linked_enzyme_aggregate

    The third category involves cross-linking of enzyme aggregates or crystals, using a bifunctional reagent, to prepare carrier-free macroparticles. The use of a carrier inevitably leads to ‘dilution of activity’, owing to the introduction of a large portion of non-catalytic ballast, ranging from 90% to >99%, which results in lower space-time ...
