critical oligomer degree of polymerisation for precipitation

symbol: $j_{\rm{crit}}$
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.14358
Lowest degree of polymerization of oligomer-radicals that precipitate from the continuous phase during a polymerization.
Note: \(j_{\rm{crit}}\) is usually equal to the degree of polymerization at which oligomer-radicals undergo a coil-to-globule transition.
