Abstract
This chapter pertains to the derivation of the analytical expression for estimation of the minimum reactive polymer-rich domain size for the occurrence of a flat temperature profile in FRRPP systems, under quasi-steady-state conditions. The method assumes a cut-off value of −1,000 for \( C\tilde{n} \), and it is based on temperature dependency of the product of the monomer and polymer composition in the polymer-rich domains. With the derived approximate equation, the resulting minimum polymer-rich domain sizes for FRRPP control are obtained for the PS–S–Ether and PMAA–MAA–Water systems. Finally, the resulting analytical expressions explain why asymptotic conversions in FRRPP systems can be relatively low if good radical trapping is realized in the system.
