This paper deals with output feedback stabilization under input constraints of continuous
polymerization reactors. We show that a saturated state feedback controller can handle input …

In this contribution we study the application of non-linear model predictive control to a
continuous polymerization of acrylic acid in tubular reactors with multiple side injections of …

The design of robust nonlinear feedback-feedforward controllers for state-variable nonlinear
systems x= f (x)+ g (x) u+ d (t) and y= h (x) is presented. The controller is robust to modelling …

The production of polymer is a very important sector in the chemical processing industry as
demand for polymeric materials increases, and these polymerization processes exhibit …

This paper describes a new approximation method to synthesize open loop control schemes
for the control of copolymer composition and molecular weight in batch and semibatch …

This paper investigates how the selection of the optimal operating point for a continuous
industrial polymerization reactor affects its controllability and resiliency. In this case, it is …

The principal difficulties in achieving good control of polymerization reactors are related to
inadequate on-line measurement, a lack of understanding of the dynamics of the process …

Experiences in control of continuous and discontinuous polymerization processes did prove
that process computers can successfully replace conventional control systems, yielding a …

Composition control of free-radically initiated batch copolymerization reactor by temperature
manipulation is investigated through a program of calcula and experiment. The work of Ray …

This paper proposes a tracking-error-based multivariable control to stabilise a nonlinear
system at the desired trajectory (including the open-loop unstable equilibrium manifold). The …
