Abstract: | A procedure is developed that allows the calculation of chain-length distributions of polymers prepared by periodic modulation of the termination rate constant, considering termination by disproportionation. Applying some (hypothetical) field which suppresses — or at least diminishes — the termination rate constant periodically, results in step-function-like chain-length distributions. In principle, the same information may be obtained as in the case of periodical variation of the rate of initiation. |
