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

Catalysts and polymerization processes have evolved over the years. Such significant
developments have allowed producers to broaden the range of polymer microstructure and …

Composite binary trees are introduced for an improved kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC)
calculation of chemical composition-chain length distributions (CC-CLDs) in polymerization …

A comprehensive multi-scale, multi-phase, multi-compartment dynamic model is developed
to analyze the extent of particle segregation in catalytic, gas-phase ethylene–propylene …

Condensed-mode operation of an ethylene polymerization fluidized-bed reactor is of great
significance in academic and industrial circles. Based on the classical emulsion–bubble two …

Multimodal molar mass distributions (MWD) of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) were
tailored either by reactor cascade technology using a chain transfer agent or by multisite …

Molecular weight controllable bimodal polyethylene was synthesized by adding ZnEt2
during ethylene living polymerization with the fluorinated FI–Ti catalyst system, bis [N-(3 …

Reliable model predictions require an appropriate model structure and also good parameter
estimates. For good parameter estimates to be obtained, it is important that the data used in …

A simplified steady‐state model has been developed to predict molecular weight
distributions and average compositions of ethylene‐hexene copolymers produced using …

In this work, a well‐known single‐particle model (the multigrain model) is applied to simulate
size growth and morphology evolution of polyethylene particles obtained through a slurry …
