✦ Synopsis
Abstrzet -Molecular weight averages and molecular weight distribution (MWD) of polymers formed via nonterminating polymerization in a series of continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) under conditions of chain transfer reactions are considered theoretically. For chain transfer to solvent, the temperature regime is defined which provides the highest Pn at the outlet of the series. Chain transfer to polymer is shown to be the possible reason for gel formation in the first reactor. Critical conditions for gel formation are derived.
