This study develops the kinetics for the slow monomer addition technique in the synthesis of hyperbranched polymers. Taking the conversion of monomer (x) as a variable, we derived the analytic expressions of molecular...
Various molecular parameters of the resulting polymer, such as number and weight average degrees of polymerization and polydispersity index, were derived for the ionic polymerization with a three state mechanism. Nume...
