## Abstract A tubular reactor model for “living” free‐radical polymerization is developed in this study. The model may be used as a tool to design efficient processes for tailored polymers from “living” free‐radical polymerization. Examples presented include preparing bimodal polymers and copolymer

## Abstract **Summary:** Using the authors' previously developed method for the general kinetic analysis of non‐linear irreversible polymerizations, the simulation of free radical homogeneous polymerization systems with terminal branching and chain transfer to polymer has been carried out for conti
## Abstract Equations for the calculation of the degree of polymerization in 'modified' living polymerizations (living polymerizations in the presence of deliberately added terminating and transfer agents) are developed from a mechanistic/kinetic model. It is shown that a modifier, acting by the me
For the bulk free radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA), equations of the material balance can be written that are based on a kinetic diagram that considers initiation by decomposition of an AIBN initiator, propagation, and termination by disproportionation. To quantify the gel and gla
