Leading experts cover the following topics: kinetics and reactor modeling of multiphase systems concerning radical and coordinative polymerization reactions; polymerization processes in bulk, suspension, emulsion, and solution (batch, semibatch, and continuous operation) conducted in different types of reactors (stirred tank reactor, tubular reactor, and fluidized-bed reactor). Further topics include the influence of viscosity, mixing, diffusion-controlled reactions, and reactor type on polymer properties (branching, crosslinking, molecular weight distribution, and copolymer-composition distribution).
