Chemical structure and commercial name of the peroxides studied.

Chemical/commercial name/supplierChemical structure

2,5-Dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butylperoxy)hexane (DTBPH)/Luperox 101/from Arkema

Di(tert-butylperoxyisopropyl)benzene (DTBPIB)/Perkadox 14/from Akzo Nobel

Dicumyl peroxide (DCP)/DCP/from Sigma-Aldrich

Luperox (aliphatic) and Perkadox (aromatic) are both bifunctional. DCP (aromatic) is monofunctional.
