Abstract

End‐capped, low molecular weight polymers have found numerous practical applications. By providing the end‐capper molecules with specific chemical functionality, the polymer material can be equipped with a desired chemical behavior for product application or polymer processing. Using probabilistic methods, formulas are derived for calculating the target molecular weight distribution and its averages for the case of linear condensation polymerization. The formulas are generally applicable, allowing for arbitrary amounts of monofunctional monomers or end‐capper molecules affecting either one or both functional groups involved in the polymerization process.
