Notes:
Using a time-dependent rate constant of the form k(t) = Btα-1 it is possible to describe adequately the time-dependent reactivity of species trapped in polymer matrices. The constant 0 〈 α ≤ 1 characterizes the initial distribution of species: the smaller the numerical value of α the wider is the distribution related to the kinetic curve by inverse Laplace transformation. Data of Auerbach and Sanders and of Patel et al. on allyl radical decay in irradiated polyethylene are discussed.
