Reactivity pattern scheme transfer constant prediction

Chain transfer is kinetically equivalent to copolymerization. The Q-e and Patterns of Reactivity schemes used to predict reactivity ratios in copolymerization (Section 7.3.4) can also be used to predict reactivities (chain transfer constants) in chain transfer and the same limitations apply. Tabulations of the appropriate parameters can be found in the Polymer Handbook 3 ... 

The most popular methods are the Q-e (Section 7.3.4.1) and Patterns of Reactivity schemes (Section 7.3.4.2). Both methods may also be used to predict transfer constants (Section 6.2.1).
