Kinetics f Ste-Grwth Plymerizatin Flry s assumtin The reactivity f a functinal gru is indeendent f the length f the chain t which it is attached. Examle: dibasic acid + glycl lyester ssumtin. The reactivity f a functinal gru is unaffected by reactins f ther functinal grus in the mlecule
The rbability f chemical reactin with the increase f the MW: The rate f mlecular diffusin decreases, i.e., larger time intervals between encunters (fewer encunters f functinal grus er unit time) Greater duratin f each encunter (a larger number f cllisins f functinal grus er encunter)
