A simple means for predicting composition distributions in copolymers is used to illustrate the strong influence of segregation effects in the reactor. A recycle loop reactor can be used to produce uniform copolymers by narrowing the macroscopic composition distribution, but there is a limiting microscopic distribution which results from probabilistic effects.
