On the determination of the ratios of the propagation rate constants on the basis of the MWD of copolymer chains: A new Monte Carlo algorithm

Abstract

Possibility of determination of the relations among homo- and crosspropagation rate constants on the basis of analysis of the detailed distribution of copolymer chain lengths is presented. Importance of application of correct computation algorithms in Monte Carlo modelling of copolymerization is indicated. A new algorithm for Monte Carlo modelling of polymerization processes is proposed.
