Kinetic model‐based experimental design of the polymerization conditions in suspension copolymerization of styrene/divinylbenzene
Abstract
The use of a mechanistic model‐based experimental design technique to determine the polymerization conditions and polymer properties in suspension copolymerization of styrene and divinylbenzene is reported. The technique consists of using a mathematical model to design the polymerization conditions of a copolymer with characteristics specified beforehand. The properties (conversion, gel content, molecular weight averages, and copolymer …
