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, bases, metals, and ions. From the thermal decomposition reaction of various concentrations of nitric acid (HNO3) (from lower to higher concentrations) with LPO, experimental data were obtained as to its exothermic onset temperature (T0), heat of decomposition (ΔHd), isothermal time to maximum rate (TMRiso), and other safety parameters exclusively for loss prevention of runaway reactions and thermal explosions. As a novel finding, LPO mixed with HNO3 can produce the detonation product of 1-nitrododecane. We used differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal activity monitor III (TAM III), and gas chromatography/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) analyses of the reactivity for LPO and itself mixed with HNO3 to corroborate the decomposition reactions and reaction mechanisms in these investigations.

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) specifically targeting pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB) and containing silver nanoparticles have been prepared by free radical polymerization reaction using methyl methacrylate (MMA) as a functional monomer, PCNB as a template molecule, 1,4-butanedioldimethacrylate as a cross linker, lauroyl peroxide (LPO) as an initiator, and the silver nanoparticles with the best surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect as SERS enhancement materials. Our results indicated that MIPs specifically recognize PCNB from complex matrices. The intensity of the PCNB characteristic peak was proportional to the concentration, with a linear range of 0.

New thermal-latent metal catalyst such as tetrakis (lauorate) titanium (LPTi) was designed and synthesized based on a lauroyl peroxide and titanium. The synthetic method is simple with one step reaction. LPTi structure was confirmed by FT-IR analysis, also nano-sized structure of LPTi confirmed using SEM-EDX.

A new method to obtain poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) spheres, which consists of an interaction between commercial PVC grains and hexyl ethyl cellulose and lauroyl peroxide at a temperature of 60 °C, is reported. The addition of the graphene oxide (GO) sheets dispersed in dimethylformamide to the reaction mixture leads to the generation of composites made of PVC spheres coated with GO sheets. Scanning electron microscopy studies have demonstrated that this method allows for the transformation of PVC grains with sizes between 75 and 227 μm into spheres with sizes varying from 0.

We report a mechanistic study of the microsuspension polymerization of styrene stabilized by cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) in its native form as well as graft-modified with copolymers of styrene and -3-(dimethylamino)propyl methacrylamide (DMAPMAm) or ,-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DEAEMA). Native CNCs and graft-modified CNCs were shown to form stable styrene emulsions with an average droplet diameter of 18-20 and 5-9 μm, respectively. Initiators of widely varying water solubilities [2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), 2-2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) (Vazo-52), and lauroyl peroxide (LPO)] were employed for the polymerizations.

A cyclization cascade initiated by the addition of a silyl radical to an electron-deficient carbon-carbon double bond of N-arylacrylamides, followed by intramolecular cyano group insertion and homolytic aromatic substitution has been reported. In the presence of di-lauroyl peroxide (LPO), under metal-free conditions, several readily available hydrosilanes were successfully used as the source of silyl radicals and a series of silyl functionalized 4H-pyrido[4,3,2-gh]phenanthridin-5(6H)-ones were obtained in moderate to good yields.
