Abstract
This chapter gives an overview of the most frequently applied numerical methods for the simulation of polymerization processes, that is, the calculation of the polymer microstructure as a function of monomer conversion and process conditions such as the temperature and initial concentrations. It is important to note, such simulations allow one to optimize the macroscopic polymer properties and to influence the polymer processability and final polymer product application range. Both deterministic and stochastic modeling techniques are discussed. In deterministic modeling techniques, time variation is seen as a continuous and predictable process, whereas in stochastic modeling techniques, a random-walk process is assumed instead.
