Radical polymerization is often the preferred mechanism for forming polymers and most commercial polymer materials involve radical chemistry at some stage of their production cycle. From both economic and practical viewpoints, the advantages of radical over other forms of polymerization arc many (Chapter 1). However, one of the often-cited "problems" with radical polymerization is a perceived lack of control over the process the inability to precisely control molecular weight and distribution, limited capacity to make complex architectures and the range of undefined defect structures and other forms of "structure irregularity" that may be present in polymers prepared by this mechanism. Much research has been directed at providing answers for problems of this nature. In this, and in the subsequent chapter, we detail the current status of the efforts to redress these issues. In this chapter, wc focus on how to achieve control by appropriate selection of the reaction conditions in conventional radical polymerization. 

For practice, make a list of the answers to problems 5.57-5.66. This list should just be names. Wait a few days until you cannot remember what the structures looked like and then ny to draw them based on the names. You can also use your textbook for more examples. 

Unfortunately these and other existing quality control procedures do not answer aU problems. There remains a clear need for development of PCR reference materials that win provide information both on quality and quantity levels. For quality the reference materials should be host-specific and PCR primers, for positive control, may correspond to host specific house keeping genes e.g. b-actin. For quantitative analysis, fluorescence dyes in specific primers might be used in order to measure accurately the amount of DNA present. Such practices, and other as yet un-realized procedures, will be needed to achieve reliable results in the quantification of DNA analysis. 

We have introduced into each chapter a number of worked examples which we believe are essential to a proper understanding of the methods of treatment given in the text. It is very desirable for a student to understand a worked example before tackling fresh practical problems himself. Chemical Engineering problems require a numerical answer, and it is essential to become familiar with the different techniques so that the answer is obtained by systematic methods rather than by intuition. ... 

The theoretical and practical problem is analysed, and from the observations facts are gathered to deduce a hypothesis. Subsequently a provisional design is generated from the observed facts and from the analysed practical problems. This provisional design is evaluated in practice and the results are analysed to confirm or reject the hypothesis and develop or refine it. Finally, the enhanced design is re-applied in practice to derive the answers posed by the research questions. The result of the research is a newly developed method informed by cause-effect knowledge, see Figure 7. 

Now that you have studied this lesson, try this set of practice problems. Carefully read over the answer explanations. Keep in mind that there are several ways to solve percent problems, so you may use an alternate method to arrive at the correct answer. 

If you answered 8-10 questions correctly, you are well on your way to success with the topics of statistics and probability. Read over the lesson, concentrating on any areas of weakness. Be sure to try all practice problems at the end of the chapter. 

If you answered 1-3 questions correctly, give the lessons in this chapter your full concentration. Read carefully through all explanations. Try all examples on your own. Visit the suggested websites and work through any problems given. You may need to reference a suggested book that will present the material in an alternate form. After reviewing the lessons, retry the benchmark questions and then proceed to the practice problems. 

Now that you have studied these lessons, try this set of practice problems to gauge your success. Carefully read over the answer explanations.
