A modelistic study of the molecular weight distribution (MWD) formed in emulsion polymerization that involves chain transfer to polymer is conducted, by focusing our attention to the effect of very small reaction volume on the formed MWD. In emulsion polymerization, a polymer radical that causes pol

The effect of different strategies for copolymer composition control on the molecular weight distribution (MWD) and gel fraction in the emulsion copolymerization of methyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate was investigated. Starved and semistarved processes for copolymer composition control were both
## Abstract The molecular weight (MW) and the molecular weight distribution (MWD) of polyethylene (PE) prepared with various metallocene catalysts were investigated. The weight‐average molecular weight (__M__~w~) of PE prepared with dicyclopentadienyltitanium dichloride/aluminoxane (Cp~2~TiCl~2~/MA
A kinetic model for evaluating the chain length distribution of a branched polymer produced in emulsion was developed. Chain branching occurring through any intermolecular mechanism is considered, namely, crosslinking, chain transfer to polymer and propagation to terminal double bond. The model acco
