Design and Control of Copolymer Composition Distribution in Living Radical Polymerization Using Semi‐Batch Feeding Policies: A Model Simulation

Abstract Summary: Although controlled/living radical copolymerization has been extensively studied, the control of copolymer composition distribution receives little attention. In this paper, taking RAFT copolymerization as an example, we develop a mathematical model and simulate copolymerization systems with various reactivity ratios. It is demonstrated that through semi‐batch operations with programmed profiles of slow monomer feeding rate, …
