For the decomposition of acetone in a reaction of measurable rate in the neighbourhood of 500°–630°, all the existing evidence is against the radical mechanism, except that advanced by A. O ...

MAX phases exhibit a unique combination of characteristics of both ceramics and metals with unusual mechanical, electrical and thermal properties 1-3.These materials are nano-layered ceramics with the ...

Similar considerations appear to be involved in the thermal decomposition of the rather more complex molecule acrolein, which proceeds homogeneously and at a convenient rate at temperatures in the ...
