Abstract

Abstract The subject matter of statistical chemistry of polymers consists in revealing quantitative theoretical dependencies of the characteristics of chemical structure of polymers on the conditions of their obtaining. The fundamental concepts of this branch of macromolecular science are outlined in simple language, bypassing any mathematics. A classification is presented of the kinetic models of macromolecular reactions currently used under mathematical modeling of diverse processes of the synthesis and chemical modification of polymers. A comparative analysis is carried out of theoretical methods engaged in calculations of both the kinetics of such processes and the composition and chemical structure of macromolecules formed. The efficiency of application of general approaches of statistical chemistry is illustrated using the processes of polycondensation, radical polymerization, and chemical modification of polymers as example. A special section is devoted to the discussion of the peculiarities of the effect of hydrodynamic stirring in a reactor on chemical inhomogeneity of obtained polymer products.
