Development of Molecular Weight Distribution in ATRP with Radical Termination

In a previous work, a model of full molecular weight distribution (MWD) for atom transfer radical polymerization with radical termination has been developed, using analogy to a series of continuous stirred tank reactors. This model assumes constant reaction rates, which is applicable to low conversion batches or steady‐state continuous processes. In this work, the model is generalized to any polymerization condition, which provides variations …
