Modeling of molecular weight development in atom transfer radical polymerization
Abstract
A kinetic model has been developed for atom transfer radical polymerization processes using the method of moments. This model predicts monomer conversion, number‐average molecular weight and polydispersity of molecular weight distribution. It takes into account the effects of side reactions including bimolecular radical termination and chain transfers. The determining parameters include the ratios of the initiator, catalyst and monomer …
