"Autoacceleration in Free Radical Polymerization". A model is developed to explain the celebrated gel effect
(autoacceleration).		   More complete explanation of autoacceleration: how polymerizations accelerate as entanglements reduce mobilities and diffusion-control onsets.
     
The dynamics of free radical polymerization: how the polymerization responds when radical creation is suddenly switched off.   "From Mean-Field to Diffusion-Controlled Kinetics: Concentration-Induced Transition in Reacting Polymer Solutions
     
How polymer reactions depend on chain length and concentration   "Infinite Lifetimes in Radical Polymerization"
     
Autoacceleration and how molecular weight distributions are affected   When polymers bearing highly reactive end groups (e.g. radicals) react in dilute solutions, there is no diffusion-controlled limit
