Calculation of Kinetic Parameters and Polymer Formation Behavior

3 Calculation of Kinetic Parameters and Polymer Formation Behavior 

The termination radius n or the minimum distance between radical sites for termination to occur can be obtained from 

5 average root mean square end to end distance for a polymer chain per square root of the chain length 

Xco critical degree of polymerization for the entanglement of polymerchains ( p volume fraction of polymer 

Simulations were performed for critical conversions corresponding to points in the reaction trajectory that were close to the binodal compositions for two initial monomer concentrations (a) [A/]o= 1.13463 mold or initial monomer weight fraction of 0.10 and (b) [A/]o=0.41423 mol/l or initial monomer weight fraction of 0.0365. As for starting initiator concentrations, they were (a) 0.00261 mol/l for [A ]o=0.41423 mol/l and (b) 0.00741 mold for [Af o=l.13463 mold.
