Abstract
The molecular weight distribution curves of six samples of polyvinyl chloride taken during a suspension polymerization were determined. The degrees of conversion of the samples varied from 4% up to 94%. Fractionations of the samples were carried out in the system tetrahydrofuran‐water by fractional precipitation. It appears that the molecular weight distribution does not substantially vary in the course of the polymerization. The experimental results are discussed.Keywords
