Abstract

In this work, a model for the RAFT polymerization was developed in order to obtain the full molecular weight distribution (MWD) using probability generating functions (pgf). For comparison purposes, the population balances were solved by direct integration of the resulting equations. Our results show that the pgf technique allows obtaining an accurate solution while drastically reducing the required computational time.
