摘要

This study simulated simultaneous bulk- and surface-initiated polymerizations and confirmed that the equivalent assumption adopted in experiments is invalid. The heterogeneous stochastic reaction model provided validate information on properties like molecular weight distribution. It provides a new aspect to better understand the mechanism of surface-initiated polymerization via heterogeneous reaction environment.

Abstract

To better characterize the properties of surface-initiated polymers

simultaneous bulk- and surface-initiated polymerizations are usually carried out by assuming that the properties of the surface-initiated polymers resemble those of the bulk-initiated polymers. Through a Monte Carlo simulation using a heterogeneous stochastic reaction model

it was discovered that the bulk-initiated polymers exhibit a higher molecular weight and a lower dispersity than the corresponding surface-initiated polymers

which indicates that the equivalent assumption is invalid. Furthermore

the molecular weight distributions of the two types of polymers are also different

suggesting different polymerization mechanisms. The results can be simply explained by the heterogeneous distributions of reactants in the system. This study is helpful to better understand surface-initiated polymerization.
