Abstract
Gordon (1962) discussed the distribution of branched polymers in solution with the help of the cascade or branching theory of stochastic processes, and dealt both with systems of copolymers and homopolymers. The present paper is concerned primarily with the latter simpler case, and the main purpose is to use cascade theory to obtain formulae for the weight average and z-average degree of polymerization of thesol fraction.Keywords
