Analysis method of binary concentration-inhomogeneous systems
A method for the analysis of binary concentration-inhomogeneous polymer-monomer systems, in which the concentration of components varies continuously from point to point, is proposed. As a characteristic of inhomogeneity serves the distribution function of the polymerization mass over concentrations. The method is based on measuring the dependence of the heat capacity of the polymerization mass on temperature in the temperature range, which includes the glass transition range, and comparing it with the dependence of the heat capacity of homogeneous systems on temperature and concentration, followed by the solution of the Fredholm integral equation of the first kind.
