✦ Synopsis

An experimental study of thermal polymerization of styrene in the temperature range 100-20O0C and conversion range 0-100% is reported. Conversions, molecular weight averages, and molecular weight distributions were measured. A kinetic model with third-order initiation gives a satisfactory fit of conversion and number-and weightaverage molecular weights over the ranges of temperature and conversion investigated. This model should find use in the design, simulation, and optimization of polystyrene reactors.
