Thermal Initiators: Decomposition Rate and Half-Life
ww
Ideally, a thermal free radical initiator should be relatively
stable at room temperature but should decompose rapidly
enough at the polymer-processing temperature to ensure a
practical reaction rate. In addition to temperature, the
decomposition rate (k) of the initiator will depend on the
solvent/monomer system used. The confining effect of
solvent molecules (the cage effect) causes secondary
"wastage" reactions including recombination of radicals to
regenerate the initiator. The cage effect becomes more
significant as viscosity increases.
The most important indicator of activity of an initiator is its
half-life (t2). It is the time required to reduce the original
initator content of a solution by 50%, at a given
temperature.

Assuming first order decomposition kinetics, which is tru
for most free radical organic initiators, the half-life (₁/2)
related to the initiator decomposition rate (k) as follows
t₁/2 = In2/k
Table I lists the decomposition rate (k) data¹ for sever
commonly used free radical initiators, at specific temper
tures and solvents. To further assist you in your selection
a thermal initiator, the temperature corresponding to a
hour half-life in a specific solvent is also shown. Fig.
relates the initiator decomposition rate (k.) in s¹ to th
half-life for a broad range of k, values, including those four
in Table I.
