## Abstract Initiation kinetics in free radical polymerization is investigated using density functional theory. Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of the initiation reactions are predicted, and the role of the initiators in the polymerization process is evaluated. Methyl acrylate, methyl methacry
A numerical procedure is developed which allows taking into account the chain length dependence of the termination and propagation constants for calculating molecular weight distributions (MWDs) formed under free-radical polymerization initiated by an arbitrary sequence of laser pulses. The law whe
