Highlight on the Mathematical Modeling of Controlled Free Radical Polymerization

Figure 3

Free radical polymerization of styrene in semibatch reactor: (a) conversion versus time; (b) monomer concentration versus time; (c) versus conversion; (d) PDI versus conversion. The solid lines are the simulation results without gel effect correlation and the dash lines are the simulation results with gel effect correlation. The dots are the experimental results. The full parameters and experimental conditions are available in [36].
