The macrocycle ⇌ copolymer equilibrium in equilibrium copolymerization

Abstract The relationships describing the concentrations of macrocycles of any size and composition in copolymerization at equilibrium are derived. They allow, together with presented earlier equations, prediction of all features of copolymerization system at equilibrium, provided the corresponding equilibrium constants and initial conditions are known. In the Appendix the equation for the equilibrium constant of polymerization of a composed monomer is given.
