Tf. Irzhak et al., THE KINETICS OF CYCLIZATION IN THE COURSE OF CONTINUOUS LINEAR POLYCONDENSATION, Vysokomolekularnye soedinenia. Seria A, 37(3), 1995, pp. 518-522
The kinetics of formation of the cycles in the process of irreversible
linear polycondensation under conditions of continuous supply of fres
h initial reactants is studied by numerical solution of the system of
kinetic equations. It is shown that the yield and molecular mass distr
ibution of the cyclic products vary, depending on the interrelation of
supply rate and the kinetic constant of cyclization. The optimum cond
itions for the reaction are found.
