Tf. Irzhak et al., MOLECULAR-MASS DISTRIBUTION OF POLYMER-CH AINS FORMED IN THE COURSE OF REVERSIBLE LINEAR POLYCONDENSATION, Vysokomolekularnye soedinenia. Seria A, 37(12), 1995, pp. 2071-2075
The reversible linear polycondensation with arbitrary values of kineti
c constants is studied. The set of kinetic equations was solved using
the concept of bond blocks. This made it possible to find an exact sol
ution for the molecular mass distribution. The conditions correspondin
g to oscillatory molecular mass distribution were determined. The depe
ndence of equilibrium conversion on the ratio between kinetic constant
s was found.
