Application of transition state theory to the study of materials containing acryloxy and acrylate units

We study the diffusion behavior of a probe, in monomers containing acryloxy and acrylate units that are commonly used in restorative dentistry. We apply a version of transition state theory with satisfactory results. Results show that transition state theory describes part of the underlying physics successfully thus reinforcing its applicability as a complement and extension to molecular dynamics simulations.
