The control of polymerization reactors is particularly arduous for several reasons;(a) difficulty
in specification of the control objectives;(b) high exothermicities and viscosities involved:(c) …

In this paper we will primarily deal with the analysis and control of continuous flow
polymerization reactors although much of the methodology will be relevant to other …

This reference and text provides an in-depth description of developments in control
techniques and their application to polymerization reactors and offers important introductory …

With an annual worldwide production well in excess of 100 million metric tons, synthetic
