✦ Synopsis
The results of butadiene polymerization initiated with CoC1, . 4Py/Et,A1C1/H2O are presented. The effectiveness of statistical experimental design techniques is demonstrated in identifying the individual and joint effects of polymerization variables on rate constants, molecular weights, and polydispersity. The proposed conversion model, representing polymerization with instantaneous initiation and bimoiecular termination, was found to provide an adequate representation of experimental conversion data. Evidence indicates that water is not only directly involved in the initiation reaction but also plays an important role in the chain transfer reaction.

A kinetic modeling study was conducted for the Ziegler-Natta polymerization of butadiene with cobalt octoate/DEAC/water catalyst. The model equations for the single and dual active site models were analytically solved, and the closed-form expressions for conversion and both number and weight average
## Abstract The reaction mechanism and subsequent kinetics for polymerization of butadiene using cobalt‐based Ziegler‐Natta catalysts have been investigated by many researchers. Kinetic models developed from these investigations can be used to predict the monomer conversion quite accurately; howeve
## Abstract In the current work, the Monte Carlo simulation method was applied to ethylene polymerization over Ziegler–Natta catalysts. As expected, polymerization over each center of a Ziegler–Natta catalyst leads to a polymer having a Schultz–Flory molecular weight distribution. Notwithstanding,
