Abstract
AbstractIn the previous parts of this series, a mathematical procedure was developed for the derivation of molecular size distribution functions of polymers generated in several ionic polymerizations. This paper follows this mathematical procedure to treat theoretically the kinetics of cationic and anionic polymerizations with instantaneous initiation, chain transfer to monomer, and spontaneous termination. The expressions of molecular size distribution functions and other molecular parameters are derived rigorously. Moreover, the simultaneous influence of chain transfer to monomer and spontaneous termination on molecular size distribution is illustrated by means of several numerical examples.
