Molecular Weight Distribution of Two Types of Living Chains Formed during Nitroxide‐Mediated Polymerization of Styrene

Different types of polymer chains generated during the nitroxide‐mediated polymerization of styrene are separated for the first time, and their molecular weight distribution (MWD) is investigated. Living and dead chains are monitored during the reaction; specifically, two types of living chains derived from the initiation of the alkoxyamine (RT) and the self‐initiation of styrene and dead chains present in the as‐prepared polystyrene (PS). To...
