摘要
The number and weight chemical composition distributions in random terpolymers were derived using a statistical approach. The solution was then generalized to comprise higher multicomponent copolymers. The analytical solution was verified with Monte Carlo simulations and by considering limiting cases. Chemical composition distributions of fractions of random terpolymers of various kinetic chain lengths were also investigated. In a similar way to the results for binary copolymers described by Stockmayer's distribution broadening of the distribution is observed for low-molecular weight chains.
