An analogous simulation with 𝑆𝚤𝐶 """"" = 8 as the termination criterion resulted in the reaction of nineteen out of the twenty initial PEG molecules and the formation of scission products up to the 7 th generation, with most products ('Final Chains') belonging to the 2 nd to 4 th scission generations (Figure ). The most abundant formed PEG molecules had MWs below 2000 Da.
