Abstract
In the present work, adaptive orthogonal collocation and a Monte Carlo method are used to compute the molecular weight distributions (MWD) of ethylene/1,9‐decadiene copolymers produced with a constrained geometry catalyst. Predictions from each model are compared to each other and to the experimental MWDs, allowing for the evaluation of relative strengths and weaknesses of each mathematical modeling method. Comparisons with experimental results indicate that the rate of macromonomer incorporation in the growing polymer chains decays with the macromonomer radius of gyration. In all cases, the proposed models are able to fit appropriately the available experimental MWDs.
