## SYNOPSIS A simple procedure was developed to account for the contribution of freshly nucleated particles to the total polymerization rate during micellar nucleation. It has been shown that the polymerization rate of the freshly nucleated particles cannot be described by a steady-state solution

Based on the coagulative particle nucleation mechanism, a two-step model has been developed for the semi-batch surfactant-free emulsion polymerization of butyl acrylate, or butyl acrylate in the presence of a small amount of acrylic acid. During Stage 1, precursor particles are Ðrst formed by phase
## Abstract A mathematical model to predict the evolution of the latex particle size distribution in an emulsion polymerization reactor was developed. The mathematical framework is based on the population balance approach. It is general in framework, readily expandable to incorporate the physiochem
In certain conditions, filamentous fungi are observed to grow exponentially during batch submerged growth. It is shown for three cases, with simple mechanistic models, that an exponential growth assumption is reasonable. The basis of these models is the identification of a growth unit, and a mechani
