Abstract

A model of formation of macromolecules in the form of a crown of a tree was suggested to describe the character of branching and architecture of branched macromolecules synthesized by radical copolymerization of a monomer with a bifunctional monomer-branching agent in the presence of a chain transfer agent. The branch representing a polymer chain with included branching agent units was accepted as the main structural element of macromolecules. Model parameters were determined from the kinetic characteristics of copolymerization, such as reagent ratio and growth rate and chain transfer constants. Branching and architecture parameters of branched polymethyl methacrylates synthesized at various monomer: branching agent: chain transfer agent ratios were calculated
