Abstract

The results of simulation model examination of the occurrence intensity of edge effects show that they are dependent on time, reaction rate constant, substrate and product concentration, layer thickness and exposure intensity. For this purpose, a model development process was applied, taking account of the kinetic reaction equation as well as the diffusion equation. The results obtained are represented in the form of three-dimensional plots where the intensity of edge effect occurrence is shown as a function of two variables.
