This article gives a wide overview of different types of mathematical models that can be used
to describe the polymerization of linear olefins with coordination catalysts. We expanded the …

A multiscale model of slurry-phase olefin polymerization is developed by extending the
multigrain model to account for the existence of gas–liquid mass transfer resistance in an …

This work presents a unified polymer reaction engineering methodology for the catalytic
olefin polymerization process. The proposed modelling approach offers a modelling …

The morphology of particles obtained under different pre-polymerization conditions has
been connected to the stress generation mechanism at the polymer/catalyst interface. A …

In this work, the development of a 3D discrete element method (DEM) modeling concept and
application that can describe and explain the catalyst particle growth and fragmentation …

The information available in daily plant operation data is not fully exploited by polymer
reaction engineers: what do the catalytic olefin polymerization plants tell? In this article, a …

A thermodynamic simulation package is developed for the catalytic polymerization of olefins
in autoclave slurry, loop slurry, gas‐phase, and autoclave solution reactors. The number of …

The solubility of different alkanes in polyethylene (PE) of different densities, as well as the
solubility of the polymers in the alkanes, and the degree of swelling of the powders are …

The disintegration of the catalyst particle during the polymerization of ethylene into
successively smaller fragments is necessary for high performance. However, rapid and …
