The physical reasons for the homogeneous and nonhomogeneous reactions of haloid-containing epoxy polymer curing
The homogeneous reaction of crosslinked polymer curing proceeded in the medium with small density fluctuations, and the nonhomogeneous one proceeded in the medium with large density fluctuations. A nonhomogeneous curing reaction was simulated as proceeding in a fractal space. In this case, its rate was sharply reduced in comparison with a similar reaction in a Euclidean space.
