The theory of the molecular weight distribution in polystyrenes initiated by sulphuric acid, described in part I, has been tested by preparation and fractionation of suitable low-yield polymer samples. The expected ‘most probable’ distribution is found in these samples, but not in a high-conversion polymer. The characteristic parameters of the distributions the relative probability of chain growth—agree with values calculated from the kinetic con­stants measured in part II.

A new FTIR–SEC coupling method provides correlated information about the molecular weight distribution and the chemical composition and has the potential to be applied as a standard SEC detector.
