| Abstract: | The degradation index (DI) has been used in previous work for Monte Carlo simulation of breakdown of polymers with narrow initial molecular weight distribution. However, the definition of DI is inadequate for polymers of broader molecular weight distribution. A least-squares method for estimating DI for such systems is described. |
