Hello,
Happy new year. I'm working on the synthesis of polymers using ultrasound assisted approach.
My question is how is possible to study the reaction kinetics and thermodynamics ?
Many thanks for your suggestions
I guess you start by measuring rate constants and then look at their temperature dependence. The classic methods are dilatometry or spectroscopy, but there are many alternatives.
You can simply try gravimetric method for kinetics or if the polymer is soluble then you try NMR. For thermal property you may try DSC and TGA.
Thank you Dr. Peter Farrington and Dr. Md. Abdur Rahman for your useful suggestions.
