In recent years, the liquid temporary plugging agent has drawn extensive attention,
especially in the repeated fracturing operation for stimulating unconventional oil and gas …

This paper provides an industrial perspective for the development of polymer reaction
engineering models and their application to create new materials, products, and improved or …

The radical chemistry of polyacrylate synthesis is non-trivial, due to a significant amount of
side reactions. Backbiting transforms conventional secondary end-chain radicals (ECRs) in …

Conventional batch solution free radical polymerization (FRP) of n-butyl acrylate (nBuA) with
thermal initiators such as 2, 2′-azobis (2-methylpropionitrile)(AIBN) is known to be strongly …

Arrhenius parameters for backbiting (bb), mid-chain radical propagation (pm) and β-scission
in n-butyl acrylate radical polymerization are determined based on pulsed laser …

The termination of acrylate radicals in atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) can
involve either conventional bimolecular radical termination (RT) or catalytic radical …

Acrylate polymerizations with high exothermicity exhibit strongly non-isothermal
characteristics. The presence of side reactions involved in the polymerization mechanisms …

Complete pulsed laser polymerization (PLP) log-molar mass distributions (log-MMDs) are
accurately simulated using kinetic Monte Carlo (k MC) modeling to gain not only knowledge …
