Abstract
Abstract Condensation polymerizations are carried out by feeding at least one primary polymerizable feed composition, which is continually varying in compositional content, from a primary feed source to a polymerization zone while simultaneously feeding at least one different secondary feed composition from a secondary feed source to said primary feed source and polymerizing the reactants mixture present in the polymerization zone.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
A PROCESS FOR CONTROLLING THE MOLECULAR WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION OF CONDENSATION POLYMERS PRODUCED BY A REACTANT STARVED CONDENSATION POLYMERIZATION REACTION COMPRISING INTRODUCING AT LEAST ONE PRIMARY POLYMERIZABLE FEED COMPOSITION COMPRISING CONDENSATION POLYMERIZABLE REACTANTS AND CHAIN TERMINATOR FROM AT LEAST ONE PRIMRY FEED SOURCE TO A POLYMERIZATION ZONE CONTAINING REACTANT CONDENSATION POLYMERIZABLE THEREWITH WHIL SIMULTANEOUSLY FEEDING AT LEAST ONE SECONDARY FEED COMPOSITION FROM AT LEAST ONE SECONDARY FEED SOURCE TO AT LEAST ONE OF SAID PRIMARY FEED SOURCES, THE COMPOSITIONAL CONTENT OF THE PRIMARY POLYMERIZABLE FEED COMPOSITION IN SAID PRIMARY FEED SOURCE CONTINUALLY CHANGING DURING THE INTRODUCTION OF SAID SECONDARY FEED COMPOSITION THERETO, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY CONDENSATION POLYMERIZING THE REACTANTS MIXTURE IN THE POLYMERIZATION ZONE.
