A plethora of models have been developed quantifying the effect of diffusion‐controlled
phenomena on polymerization reactions. The most prominent approaches are reviewed …

The terminal-cost optimization of a control–affine nonlinear system leads to a discontinuous
solution that can be characterized in a piecewise manner. To implement such an optimal …

This paper proposes a complete procedure for the design of a robust controller for a
nonlinear process, taking into account the various issues arising in the design and using the …

In this work, the influence of three different suspension agents (agar, sodium alginate, and
gelatin) in the synthesis of poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) particles is reported. Sodium …

In this paper, a robust nonlinear controller is designed in the Input/Output (I/O) linearization
framework, for non-square multivariable nonlinear systems that have more inputs than …

On-line control of emulsion polymerization is important in order to optimize process
productivity. In this work, multivariable nonlinear geometric control is applied in order to …

An elegant, simple, and exact analytical solution (AS) was obtained for a large range of
elementary steps with practical importance in free radical polymerization. The AS matches …

Input/output (I/O) linearization via state feedback provides a convenient framework for
designing controllers for multivariable nonlinear systems. However this approach does not …

A nonlinear geometric control is used to control the concentration of the monomer in solution
polymerization processes. The concentration of the monomer is an important parameter in …

In this paper, a design methodology has been developed for the control of non-autonomous
batch processes which typically require good tracking performance. The design, based on …
