A tubular reactor model for “living” free‐radical polymerization is developed in this study. The model may be used as a tool to design efficient processes for tailored polymers from “living” free‐radical polymerization. Examples presented include preparing bimodal polymers and copolymers of n ‐butyl acrylate and styrene. Residence time distribution effects on polymer properties are investigated by varying the Peclet number, to show the degree of backmixing that adversely affects polymer properties. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
