Abstract
An explicit analytic solution has been obtained for the time-dependent Smith–Ewart equations for the case where the rate of formation of new radicals is zero, as would be the case if the rate of the radical-generating reaction in a compartmentalised free-radical polymerisation reaction were suddenly reduced to zero. The decay characteristics of the reaction are determined by a set of “relaxation times”. The nature of these relaxation times does not depend upon the nature of the locus-population distribution from which the reaction decays, although the way in which the locus populations themselves decay does depend upon the initial distribution.
