    Abstract

    A new approach for the simulation of PLP (pulsed laser polymerization) is presented. This approach allows one to obtain new analytical solution for different polymerization schemes, including either chain transfer to the monomer or intramolecular chain transfer to the polymer. The first results of the simulation of PLP experiments on n-butyl acrylate at 20 °C and ambient pressure are presented.
