Description

Graft polymerization of styrene onto preirradiated poly(isobutylene oxide) was carried out at 250C. The concentration of active sites for grafting was estimated by means of ESR and by the activation analysis of bromine atoms bound to the chain ends. Kinetic data such as differential amount of active sites (DACT), growth rate (GR), and average lifetime (tau) were obtained to calculate the molecular weight distribution of graft chains by the Monte Carlo simulation method. The number-average molecular weight of the graft chain was calculated from the equation, anti M/sub n/ = 2 GR tau (mw), which agreed well with the observed value
