This work deals with the non‐steady‐state kinetics of free radical polymerization with redox initiation. Rigorous expressions for the radical concentration, monomer conversion, molecular size distribution function, and number‐average and weight‐average molecular weights, etc., were derived. The molecular parameters of the resulting polymer were evaluated in relation to the polymerization conditions.
