Abstract:Step-growth polymerized systems of general type "AfiBgi" are considered. The monomers bear one or more reactive groups of type A and/or B. An A group on one monomeric unit might react with a B group on another unit, thus coupling the two units. This process repeats itself randomly, and at a given degree of conversion, a wide range of polymeric molecules has formed, differing in both molecular size and in branching structure, determined by the laws of probability. In a slice of the molecular size distribution, … Show more
