Dicyclohexyl Peroxydicarbonate is a catalyst used in the frontal copolymerization in the presence of nano-particles.
Dicyclohexyl peroxydicarbonate(technically pure) is particularly sensitive to temperature rises. Above a given "Control Temperature" they decompose violently. They are generally stored or transported in a water slurry.
DICYCLOHEXYL PEROXYDICARBONATE decomposes violently or explosively at temperatures 0-10°C owing to self-accelerating exothermic decomposition; Several explosions were due to shock, heat or friction; amines and certain metals can cause accelerated decomposition [Bretherick, 1979 p. 156].
