The kinetics of polymerization with deposition of polymer particles, such as emulsion polymerization and precipitation polymerization from homogeneous monomer or monomersolvent mixture, was investigated. Asymptotic solutions to give the average number of radicals per polymer particle correlated with reaction conditions are demonstrated.
By using the relations obtained it was possible to predict quantitatively the effect of polymer yield, number of polymer particles and initiator concentration on the rate of polymerization.
