Abstract

A detailed study of the polymer statistics for a reaction system resembling the ethylene oxide initiator case is made allowing for different rates of initiation ki and propagation kp. The modified Poisson distribution that results necessitates evaluation of rather complicated summations in order to characterize the number x̄n and weight average x̄w molecular weights. It is found that r = kp/ki as large as 106 still does not shift (x̄w/x̄n)max beyond the range 1.3 to 1.4. But under any circumstance, depletion of monomer assures homogeneous polymers, regardless of r.

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.
