Cover: The chain length distribution in ideal controlled radical copolymerization of vinyl/divinyl monomers was predicted using population balance equations of generating functions. Multimodal chain length distributions are predicted. Each peak corresponds to a specific count of crosslinks, the one with lowest molecular weight being the linear polymer fraction (zero crosslinks). Calculations have been carried out both before and after gelation. Further details can be found in the article by R. C. S. Dias * and M. R. P. F. N. Costa on page 323 .
