Intermolecular chain transfer to polymer with chain scission: general treatment and determination of kp/ktr in L,L‐lactide polymerization
Abstract
A general kinetic treatment of the system with intermolecular chain transfer followed by fast reinitiation is given. It leads to the broadening of the molecular weight distribution (MWD), the number of growing chains being invariable. Thus, this system can be considered as a special case of living polymerization. A general method has been elaborated allowing the determination of the ratio of the rate constant of propagation (kp) to the rate constant of the bimolecular transfer (k(2)tr) from the dependence of the MWD on monomer conversion. Numerical values of kp/k(2)tr equal to ≈ 10 2 and 25 were thus determined for the polymerization of L, L‐lactide (L, L‐dilactide) initiated with aluminium tris(isopropoxide) trimer ({Al(O i Pr)3}3) and tributyltin ethoxide (n Bu 3 SnOEt), respectively.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
