The equations for predicting molecular weight distribution, copolymer composition distribution, and copolymer sequence distribution for three polymerization mechanisms (monomer linkage with termination, monomer linkage without termination, and polymer linkage), and three reactor types (batch/plug flow, homogenous continuous stirred tank, and segregated continuous stirred tank) are assembled from various sources and compared and contrasted.
