The modeling of the semibatch emulsion polymerization of styrene and its validation against data obtained from a reactor facility is presented. The model, which describes the growth of a monodisperse polystyrene seed as neat monomer is fed to the reactor, incorporates recent findings in radical diff

Reaction calorimetery was used to monitor and control unseeded semi-batch emulsion copolymerization of VAc and BuA. An external PC, using the information derived from a commercial reaction calorimeter, calculated on-line the thermal and material balances of the calorimetric reactor, and thus the mon
## Abstract **Summary:** The risk parameters of the highβsolidsβcontent emulsion copolymerization of vinyl acetate/butyl acrylate/acrylic acid (78.5/18.5/3 wt.β%) were studied. The effect of the polymer/monomer ratio, the total solids content, the initiator/monomer ratio, the nonβswollen polymer pa
## It has been demonstrated earlier that a Pulsed Packed Column is a suitable reactor for continuous emulsion polymerisation of styrene. The emulsion polymerisation of viny2 acetate follows a different mechanism, which renders the process more liable to instabilities when carried out in a continuo
