This work deals with a generalization of the widely applicable theory of Hill's, later developed by Hermans. It concerns the diffusion-controlled reaction of a reagent with a polymer across an interface, in the course of which the reagent is captured by an infinitely reactive site ('sink') inside the polymer. For certain applications, it becomes necessary to introduce an alternative fate which the reagent may suffer during diffusion to the sink, namely, deactivation or decomposition. The present kinetic theory of this effect is based on the method of considering the elementary jumps responsible for diffusion, while Hill and Hermans used the complementary, continuous method based on Fick's law. The present derivation of a general rate law for the conversion of the polymer is based on a pseudo lattice model. The rate law takes the form of an infinite spectrum of first-order decay terms, and is little dependent on details of the model used or on curvature of the interface. It does depend critically on a stability constant s of the reagent, which is unity for a perfectly stable and zero for a completely unstable one. In the former case the rate law reduces substantially to that of Hill and Hermans, but covers the initial transient effect as well as the steady state. As s →0, the rate law converges uniformly to that of a first-order chemisorption of a monolayer over the appropriate range. Intermediate cases (0 < s < 1) are of interest in the chemistry of rubber latex, and probably in other fields of polymer chemistry.

Systematic experiments were conducted on carburized 4320 steel to study thermalinduced transformation of austenite to bainite by measuring the volumetric transformation strains. Up to about 210°C, thermal-induced transformation involved a diffusion-controlled reaction and therefore was time dependent. The mechanism is similar to that described by the second stage of tempering. An Arhennius-type relation was used to model the kinetics of the reaction leading to a volume increase. A positive hydrostatic stress tended to increase the rate of transformation. The anisotropy of the transformation strains were proportional to the deviatoric stress.

The reaction of p-chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB) with the sulfhydryl groups of phosphorylase b and the model compounds glutathione and 2-mercaptoethanol was followed spectrophotometrically on a stopped flow apparatus. Model sulfhydryl compounds, glutathione and 2-mercaptoethanol, under identical conditions of pH (6.8), buffer, and temperature (30°) reacted at a rate only slightly higher (6 × 106 M−1 s−1) than the fastest-reacting sulfhydryl groups of phosphorylase b (3 × 106 M−1 s−1). The sulfhydryl groups which are concerned with structure–activity relationships react at rates which are four to five orders of magnitude less than these.An analysis of the pH dependence of the rate of reaction of PCMB with the fastest-reacting groups of phosphorylase b and with 2-mercaptoethanol indicated that the ionized sulfhydryl group is reacting at a much faster rate than is the unionized group. The reaction of PCMB with the ionized sulfhydryl group is so fast (~ 106M−1 s−1) that it is presumably diffusion controlled, while the reaction with the unionized group, although three orders of magnitude slower, is still much greater than with those sulfhydryl groups concerned with structure and activity. Thus the reactivity of sulfhydryl groups of protein molecules is determined both by their pKa values and their accessibility to PCMB.

Diffusion Controlled Reaction

The kinetics of the reaction of ferroprotoporphyrin IX with CO have been studied in mixed glycerol–water solvents of high viscosity in order that the simultaneous influence of chemical activation and diffusion control of the reaction might be observed. Analyses of curved Arrhenius plots indicated that in the low temperature high viscosity limits the reaction is largely diffusion controlled. The deviation of the second order diffusion rate constants, from that predicted by simple theory for reaction between uniformly reactive spheres of equal radii, is a factor of 0.3 to 0.9, depending upon the solvent composition. A couple of other models for diffusion controlled reaction, ascribing these deviations to changes of steric requirements, were also examined.
