Abstract
By means of the Monte Cario method a course of random chain scission was simulated and the following were decermined: the number-average moiecular weight and the degree of polymerization of the system, the weight-average moiecular weight and the degree of polymerization of the system, the number of molecules of degree of polymerization higher than an arbitrarily chosen value, and the number of molecules of a given degree of polymerization. Values obtained by simulation were compared with some analytical relations. Some hitherto unknown characteristics of the whole process have been established.Keywords
