Abstract
Full Paper: Two mean-field kinetic models of the polymerization of an AB(2) monomer that lead to hyperbranched polymers are presented. The first model deals with branched molecules only and constitutes a new version of the Fl ory theory. Its modification, which takes into account ring formation, is t he second model. Preliminary results of the application of the models are s hown and discussed. [GRAPHICS] Polymer molecule containing a ring obtained from an AB(2) monomer.
