The dynamic behaviour of polymerization reactors is very interesting and complex. The
possibilities for reactor runaway, multiple steady states, and autonomous oscillations cause …

A mathematical model is developed for solution copolymerization in a continuous stirred
tank reactor. For the thermal copolymerization of styrene and acrylonitrile (SAN), the kinetic …

In a previous paper, Pinto and Ray developed a mathematical model to describe the
dynamic behavior of continuous solution copolymerization reactors and validated the model …

In this contribution, a nonlinear model‐based optimizing control for continuous
polymerization of acrylic acid in tubular reactors with multiple side injections of monomer is …

This paper concerns general MIMO nonlinear processes, whose dynamic behavior is
described by a standard state‐space model of arbitrary order, including measurable …

The major difficulty in achieving good performance of industrial polymerization reactors lies
in the lack of understanding of their nonlinear dynamics and the lack of well-developed …

In this paper we examine the control of a condensation polymerization reactor. The nylon 6,
6 system is chosen as a representative polymerization process. A model for a nylon …

This paper describes a methodology for verifying the stability and performance of closed-
loop nonlinear systems, as arise in chemical plants with process controllers, when the …

Two different approaches to robust adaptive control are applied to the control of monomer
conversion (ie productivity) of a simulated continuous solution polymerization reactor in the …

In this work, the realization of an online optimizing control scheme for an industrial semi-
batch polymerization reactor is discussed in detail. The goal of the work is the automatic …
