The Macrokinetics and Rheokinetics of the Hardening of Oligomers

The review deals with the investigation and phenomenological description of the macrokinetics of the hardening of reactive oligomers and the change in their rheological properties observed in the course of this process. Attention has been concentrated on the establishment of a relation between the macrokinetics and rheokinetics of the hardening process. The influence of deformation on the hardening kinetics is examined and the role of non-isothermal effects induced by various factors as well as the formulation of the hydrodynamic problems concerning the flow of liquids with variable rheological properties are discussed.
