2.1 INTRODUCTION

In the last 25 years an interest of physicists to the theory of polymer synthesis has sharply increased (e.g., the concept of a mean field was used [1-5]). Simultaneously, a number of publications [1-5] concerned analytical study and computer simulation of reactions in different spaces [6-9], including fractal ones [10], has appeared. It has been clarified, that the main factor, defining chemical reactions course, is space connectivity degree, irrespective of its type. Also a large amount of theoretical and applied researches on irreversible aggregation models of different kinds offered for the description of such processes as flocculation, coagulation, and polymerization are carried out [11]. The fractal analysis, intensively developing per last years, as the aggregation within the frameworks of the indicated models forms fractal aggregates [1-11]. Nevertheless, the application of these modern physical concepts for the description of polymers synthesis still has unitary character [12-15].
