The values of kinetic rate constants (\(k_{i},\ k_{p},k_{\text{tm}}\))
and activation energy were taken from the study of Vasconcelos (2019) ,
where an estimation of parameters was made from experimental data. These
parameters and used for the simulation considering just one catalytic
site. For the simulation considering two, three and four catalytic
sites, these values were estimated in order to obtain the molar mass
distribution as well \(M_{w}\) and \(M_{n}\) of polymers characteristic
of the industry. All the above-mentioned constants can be found in Table
3.
