Abstract

Abstract Polymer Laboratories is pleased to announce a key collaboration in on-line polymerization monitoring and control, designed to provide continuous, accurate characterization of polymers in reactors during the polymerization production process. Polymer Laboratories has signed an Agreement with Tulane University, New Orleans, USA, to license and commercialize ACOMP-Automatic Continuous Online Monitoring of Polymerization reactions. Developed by Dr. Wayne Reed, a professor in the Department of Physics at Tulane, ACOMP works on the principle of continuous withdrawal of polymer from a reactor that is mixed with solvent from a reservoir. The continuous stream of liquid is rapidly diluted sufficiently so that physical and chemical measurements can be made on the stream in virtually real time. Keywords:
