Abstract
It is shown that in radiolysis not only the reaction of alkyl radicals with iodine, but also that of alkyl radicals with galvinoxyl is diffusion controlled. The activation energies of the reactions of alkyl radicals with iodine increase with molecular mass, following the Smoluchowski equation. In the gross reaction other reaction steps (e.g. polymerisation, combination) cover up this phenomenon.Keywords
