Modeling stable free‐radical polymerization

Abstract

A kinetic model has been developed for stable free‐radical polymerization (SFRP) processes by using the method of moments. This model predicts monomer conversion, number‐average molecular weight, and polydispersity of molecular weight distribution. The effects of the concentrations of initiator, stable radical, and monomer, as well as the rate constants of initiation, propagation, termination, transfer, and the equilibrium constant between …
