(Anionic polymerization)
(a) Determine the final number-average and weight-average
chain lengths and molecular weights along with the extent of polymerization and
polydispersity in an anionic polymerization for an initial monomer concentration
of 2 M and for initiator concentrations of 1, 0.01, and 0.0001
M.
(b) Calculate the radical concentration and
polymer concentration as a function of time for j= 3, 7, 10 for the same
monomer and initiator concentrations. ki=, kp= 100
dm3/mol*s
(c) Repeat (b) for the case
and
with ki = 10 dm3/mol*s and Ki + 10-8 mol/dm3.
