Characteristic features of radical polymerisation occurring under the influence of non-traditional initiators

The kinetics of free radical polymerisation processes during which macromolecules grow stepwise are examined. A general approach suitable for the calculation of the molecular weight distribution of the products of the polymerisation initiated by various classes of non-traditional initiators is formulated. The effectiveness of this theoretical approach is illustrated in numerous examples of the solution of specific practical problems. The bibliography includes 59 references.
