Abstract

A scheme for calculating polydispersity coefficients of polymers during chain propagation in living polymerization is proposed on the basis of the synergistic approach (the master equation) with allowance for fluctuations in the number of free radicals at the stage of initiation. The molecular-mass-distribution function of living chains is calculated. The form of this function is shown to be dependent on the ratio between the constants of the elementary stages of chain initiation and propagation.
