A stochastic model for polymer degradation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
The stochastic model for breaking of molecular segments proposed by Bithell is analysed and some results relating to the distribution of the number of fragments are obtained by using a slightly more general model which allows multiple ruptures. The product density technique is employed to derive the mean and mean square number of segments at any time t and the number of segments with length greater than y at time of production.
