Abstract: A smoke producing method and device of the present disclosure produces a non-incendiary, organic-polymerization based, smoke-producing reaction. Some versions of the smoke are effective carriers for capsaicinoid compounds. The method of generating smoke comprises initiating a frontal polymerization reaction by heating a composition comprising a monomer compound that exothermically polymerizes upon initiation with an initiator compound and an initiator compound that initiates polymerization of the monomer compound present at a mass concentration that is at least five percent of the mass concentration of the monomer compound. The polymerization of the monomer compound is exothermic, and in one embodiment the concentration of initiator compound is at least five percent of the concentration of monomer compound. The smoke mainly comprises thermal decomposition products of the initiator compound.

Abstract: A method and device of the present disclosure produces a non-incendiary, organic-polymerization based, smoke-producing reaction. The smoke mainly comprises thermal decomposition products of the initiator compound. A composition for the non-pyrotechnic generation of smoke is provided that includes a monomer that exothermically polymerizes, and an initiator, such that smoke is generated during a frontal polymerization reaction.
