Abstract

Numerical experiments are used to examine how the molecular mass and polydispersity index of polystyrene synthesized by controlled addition-fragmentation radical polymerization depend on various control parameters of the process, such as the temperature and initial concentrations of monomer, initiator, and reversible chain transfer agent.
