Monomer Concentration

Molecular weight is influenced by the monomer concentration. Usually the lower the concentration of monomers the lower the molecular weight of the polymer formed. High concentrations of monomer generate a greater chance that the monomers will come into contact with a propagating chain, and therefore reducing the possibility of chain termination by the solvent or any other chain terminating species which may be present. Hence, the resulting polymer will have a higher molecular weight and higher viscosity.
