Over decades of carefully designed kinetic experiments and the development of
complementary theory, a more or less complete picture of the mechanisms that govern …

A review of the use and limitations of Population Balance Equations (PBE) in the modeling
of emulsion polymerisation (EP), and in particular of the particle size distribution of the …

The effects of varying polymerization conditions on the extent of oxygen inhibition of free-
radical photopolymerization were investigated using both experimental and modeling …

The polymerization of styrene in the presence of a stable radical, TEMPO (2, 2, 6, 6-
tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy), has been simulated using a Predici simulations package. On …

In situ 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been used to directly
investigate the processes that occur during the early stages (typically the first few monomer …

Arrhenius parameters for the transfer constant to monomer (CM) for the free-radical
polymerization of butyl acrylate (BA) are determined by a combination of techniques. A …

An extensive model is given for the particle size distribution (PSD), particle number, particle
size and amount of secondary nucleation in emulsion polymerisations. This incorporates …

Controlled radical polymerization (CRP), sometimes also termed 'living'radical
polymerization, offers the potential to create a wide range of polymer architectures, and its …

Cobalt-catalyzed chain transfer in methyl methacrylate (MMA) or methacrylonitrile (MAN)
polymerizations employing very high concentrations of catalyst allows the detailed …

The diffusion coefficients of oligomeric radicals in monomer− polymer systems have a major
influence on properties such as polymerization rates and molecular weight distributions. The …
