Abstract
Microemulsions of styrene were polymerized using pulsed UV lasers. Molecular weights of the polystyrene produced were linearly dependent on the time interval between pulses when the number of photons absorbed per mL of microemulsion was ca. 5 Γ 10^15^. In contrast, laser pulses with much higher intensity produced polymers with molecular weights which were nonlinear with laser repetition rate.

## Abstract **Summary:** Styrene was polymerized in microemulsion by pulsed laser radiation. The resulting multimodal distributions are composed of equidistant Poisson distributions as bimolecular termination occurs mainly during the short laser pulses. For nearly all distributions the first peak w
