Stationary and non-stationary processes in non-classical radical polymerization with size dependent termination

Kinetic analysis of non-classical radical polymerization is discussed in terms of the Group-Termination Procedure on the basis of the geometric mean approximation. Expressions for important kinetic functions of stationary reactions, with or without chain-transfer, are listed and compared with their classical counterparts. In the treatment of non-stationary reactions (with or without transfer) special attention is paid to the calculation of pre- and after-effects and their applications in the evaluation of absolute rate coefficients.
