Ep5 Kinetics of step-growth polymerization, Flory distribution - UCSD NANO 134 Darren Lipomi

The kinetics of self-catalyzed and acid-catalyzed polyesterification (an example of step-growth polymerization). Derivation of the most probable or Flory distribution of the number fraction of x-mers and weight fraction of x-mers at particular extents of reaction p and length of the chain.

Thanks for the video! This has been really helpful in learning the kinetics! I have had a very hard time understanding this concept, but the way you work through it step-by-step was very appreciated!

These videos have been very helpful,i ve been trying to understand the mechanism of step growth polymerisation but couldn't but after watching this video ,it became clear n other videos hv also made so many concepts clear about polymerisation so thank u

Very helpful, my Prof. tried also his best, but your explanation is much better

Thanks!

Thanks for posting the lecture. The equations are tricky and I think what would help a lot is if you drew pictures to help understand whats physically going on with them.
