The strength of multi-scale modeling to support the fundamental understanding and design
of radical polymerization processes is illustrated, considering both controlled and free …

Industrial suspension polymerization usually proceeds by a free‐radical mechanism to
produce polymer beads. The size distribution of the polymer beads is often similar to that of …

A population balance model presented describes simultaneous coagulation and
fragmentation during shear‐induced flocculation. Given sufficient time, a floc‐size …

An updated review on suspension polymerization is presented. The time period from 1991 to
1995 is stressed, as well as research articles or reports not considered in previous reviews …

This chapter addresses both the fundamental and practical aspects of liquid–liquid
dispersion and coalescence, as well as application of the current state of knowledge to a …

In the present study, a comprehensive population balance model is developed to predict the
dynamic evolution of the particle size distribution in high hold-up (eg, 40%) non-reactive …

The quantitative description of particle size distribution development in suspension
polymerization reactors is very complex. The exact mechanisms of breakage and …

Inúmeros processos podem ser utilizados para produção de materiais poliméricos. Cada
processo apresenta características peculiares, que permitem produzir resinas com as mais …

The phenomenon of phase inversion occurs in liquid‐liquid dispersions found in a variety of
chemical engineering fields. From simple oil‐water mixtures to complex polymeric systems …

A mechanistic model for the description and prediction of the drop size distribution in a
turbulently agitated emulsion dispersion is developed. Based on this model, breakage rate …
