Abstract
The calculation of the number-average degree of polymerization is considered exemplified by the radical polymerization of styrene, which is carried out at 343, 348, and 353 K. The system of differential equations on the graph using corrections specified as formulas has been applied for the calculation. When using the minimum set of initial data, the error of the calculated and experimental values is 40, 33.3, and 37.5% at 343, 348, and 353 K, respectively. The inverse kinetic problem has been solved.
