Emulsion polymers are “products by process” whose main properties are determined during
polymerization. In this scenario of margins reduction, increasing competition, and public …

In the present article, recent developments on modeling and optimization of particulate
polymerization processes are reviewed. A unified population balance approach is described …

A generalized multiscale modeling framework is described for the digital simulation of a high‐
pressure low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) tubular reactor. According to the proposed …

Self-driving laboratories (SDLs) promise an accelerated application of the scientific method.
Through the automation of experimental workflows, along with the autonomization of …

The development and use of microprocessor-based devices improved the speed and
reliability of transmission and manipulation of data. More recently, some monitoring …

Emulsion and suspension polymerization processes have widely been studied for more than
40 years. Although both polymerization processes are performed in heterogeneous media …

The molecular weight distribution is an important factor that affects the properties of
polymers. A control algorithm based on the moment-generating function was proposed to …

This article shows that near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can be used efficiently for the
simultaneous in‐line and in situ monitoring of monomer (methyl methacrylate, MMA, and …

In the present study, a two-dimensional fixed pivot technique (2-D FPT) and an efficient
Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm are described for the calculation of the bivariate molecular …

This paper presents an emulsion-polymerization model that is designed for an industrial,
semi-batch reactor. The model consists of a reaction model and a calorimetry model, and as …
