Equations to calculate the density of branching arising from chain transfer to polymer with initiator radicals in terminally functional polymers of low molecular weight were derived for various polymerization conditions. The branching density was shown to be affected by the feed procedure. The relative amount of branching was found to be lower with a single addition of monomer and initiator than with continuous feed of initiator during the reaction. These conclusions were confirmed experimentally.
