Abstract
A kinetic model allowing for the effect of substitution has been developed for the synthesis of hyperbranched polymers through the cocyclotrimerization of mono- and bifunctional monomers. The calculation has been performed by means of a mathematical apparatus for generating functions. New theoretical relationships have been obtained that enable one to predict critical conversion and variations in the structural and molecular-mass parameters of hyperbranched polymers during reaction in relation to the initial monomer ratio, relative reactivities of functional groups, and variations in the reactivities during the process.
