✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A statistical theory of the parallel accumulation of randomly placed breaks and damage not associated with breaks in linear polymers is presented. Expressions for the weight fraction of polymer in the form of chains that bear n or more sites of nonbreak damage (markers) are developed, and results of numerical computations with them presented. The effects of polydispersity in the undamaged sample are discussed. The relation of the computed quantities to experimental methods used in the study of damage to nucleic acids due to radiation and chemical exposure is discussed.

## Abstract A general kinetic treatment of the system with intermolecular chain transfer followed by fast reinitiation is given. It leads to the broadening of the molecular weight distribution (MWD), the number of growing chains being invariable. Thus, this system can be considered as a special cas

The in situ formation of a compatibilizer, consisting of a copolymer of PA grafted onto a maleic anhydride (MA) containing polymer, is essential for the morphology and properties of the corresponding PA blends. In this study four blends, containing PA-6 or PA-6.6 and EPDM-g-MA or poly(styrene-co-mal
