Gel permeation chromatography was used to follow changes in the molecular weight distribution of a polyisobutene, initial = 466,000, during degradation induced by sonic irradiation. In general, a steady decrease in molecular weight was observed, although a bimodal distribution was present after 20,

## Abstract The change in polymer distribution during depolymerization in which monomer molecules are severed one by one from the chain ends, is considered. Assuming irreversible depolymerization and equal reactivity of all the chain ends, a general formula to calculate the MWD is proposed. After t
The length-distribution of sequences formed from reacted and unreacted monomer units during reaction has been discussed on the basis of the scheme developed for this process. In the case of poly(vinyl chloride), the reacted units are polyenes. The dependence of sequence distribution on conversion an
