Application

Lauroyl peroxide can be used as:
  • A long chain branching(LCB) introducer in polypropylene to improve its mechanical recycling process.
  • A mild oxidant and efficient hydrogen abstractor in the preparation of disulfide compounds through dimerization of corresponding dithiocarbamates.
  • An initiator in the preparation of ion-imprinted polymers(IIPs).
  • An initiator and oxidant to construct erythrina ring system via oxidative radical cyclizations of enamide in the presence of nBu3SnH.

The preparation of lauryl methacrylate (LMA)-based monolithic columns for CEC using lauroyl peroxide (LPO) as thermal initiator of polymerization has been investigated. The influence of initiator amount and composition of porogenic solvent on the physical and electrochromatographic properties of the

A series of (2-alkylthiothiazolin-5-yl)methyl dodecanoates was synthesized from various alkyl N-allylcarbamodithioates and dilauroyl peroxide via a tandem radical hydrogen-abstraction-cyclization-substitution/combination reaction with a 5-exo-trig radical cyclization as a key step. The current route is the first, convenient, and efficient synthesis of

Many thermal runaway incidents have been caused by organic peroxides due to the peroxy group, -O-O-, which is essentially unstable and active. Lauroyl peroxide (LPO) is also sensitive to thermal sources and is incompatible with many materials, such as acids

Adiabatic calorimetry performed on butadiene-derived popcorn polymer samples from industrial facilities has revealed exothermic behavior accompanied by non-condensible gas production, indicative of possible decomposition, at elevated temperatures. In the presence of low concentrations of 1,3-butadiene, reactivity is observed at temperatures
