The bulk self‐initiated polymerization kinetics, assuming complete conversion of the octyl acrylate was determined by DTA in the temperature range 463‐493 K. Likewise, the overall activation energy, E A , and the polymerization enthalpies involved in the process have been calculated, as well as the overall rate constants and the reaction order.
