摘要：

A comprehensive mathematical model was developed using Monte Carlo simulation to describe the mechanism of ethylene and alpha-olefin copolymerization. The model studies the polymerization mechanism using coordination catalysts and is able to predict molecular weight and detailed chemical composition distributions. This work is considered to be a useful tool that enables us to understand and described the monomer sequence distribution as a function of chain length in semi-batch polymerization reactors.
