aAbstraction of these H atoms activates the sites, forming surface radicals. The latter react with incoming gaseous species, both hydrocarbons that propagate the growth and oxidizing agents that remove the carbon from the surface. In other words, the surface growth is assumed to be governed by ...
aAbstraction of a hydrogen atom from another polyunsaturated fatty acid molecule (LH) by the resultant lipid peroxyl radical (LOO) can produce a new lipid pentadienyl radical (L) and a lipid hydroperoxide (LOOH). The lipid hydroperoxide can be reduced to the chemically more stable corresponding...
