Molecular Weight and Molecular Weight Distribution of Polystyrene Obtained in Cationic Polymerization

Calculation of Molecular Weight Distribution from Molecular Weight Moments in Free Radical Polymerization

A novel method is presented for the calculation of weight chain length distribution in free radical polymerization of vinyl monomers. In the proposed method, polymerization kinetic equations and molecular weight moment equations are used in conjunction with a function that defines the weight fraction of polymer in a finite chain length interval. The entire range of molecular weight is divided i...

Rheological Method for Determining Molecular Weight and Molecular Weight Distribution

Synthesis and identification of polystyrene via conventional and controlled radical polymerization methods: Effect of temperature, initiator and transfer agent on molecular weight and reaction rate

Polystyrene (PSt) has been known as one of the important polymers with a wide range of applications. Ability to synthesize PSt with different but predictable molecular weights for various applications is very important in the laboratories and industries. In this study, using various simple and inexpensive techniques with only free radical mechanism, it was tried to synthesize PSt with different...

Previously we demonstrated ultra-dense patterning using 2 kg/mol polystyrene negative electron beam resist that has low sensitivity [16]. To drastically improve its sensitivity, here we studied the expos...
