The results of the present study have shown that the molecular weight distribution of polydimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride is simulatable and predictable within the framework of the irreversible cluster–cluster aggregation model. The shape and position of a curve of molecular weight distributiion are influenced by a number of factors, for example, by macromolecular coil structure, stochastic contribution of a coil environment to polymerization intensity, and level of coil destruction during polymerization. These factors can be linked by simple relationships to technical characteristics of the polymerization process, which is especially important for fractal applictions of the proposed theoretical model. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
