Mathematical modeling of action mechanisms of some aromatic amine class inhibitors for polymers

Abstract The kinetic rules of inhibited oxidation of n-hexadecane have been investigated in presence of aromatic amine inhibitors. The studies were carried out in autooxidative conditions at different rates of oxidation initiation. The study included a wide range of inhibitor concentrations and hydroperoxides at different partial pressures of oxygen. A mathematical model of the investigated process has been worked out that describes the main rules of the process and quantitatively predicts the experimental data.
