A mathematical solution for the Arrhenius temperature dependency for the first‐order decomposition of organic peroxide catalysts has been used to prepare computer‐generated data for concentration vs time when a linearly rising temperature program is used. The resulting plots, of a double exponential nature, are used to show the effects of heating rates and type of organic peroxide on peroxide concentration and polymerization reactions.
