Traveling-waves of metal-containing monomer polymerization without diffusion and heat-transfer

Abstract The new approach for modeling kinetics of complex spatial self-propagating traveling-wave reactions is proposed. This approach is intended to replace well-known reaction–diffusion equations and self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) as methods for mathematical modeling of spatial propagation of chemical reactions. A chemical kinetic model for frontal polymerization of metal-containing monomers under this approach is suggested.
