Abstract
AbstractThe influence of inhibitors (p‐benzoquinone) on the conversion and the molecular weight distribution (MWD) during free radical polymerization (AIBN) of styrene was examined. A continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) was used for the experiments. The concentration of the inhibitor and initiator, the mean residence time and the reaction temperature were modified. The measurement of the residence time distribution (macroscopic mixing) and the estimation of the segregation number showed an ideal mixing behaviour (HCSTR). The conversion and the MWD were calculated. As the results show, it is possible to calculate the reaction in a HCSTR by only using the kinetic constants measured in discontinuous runs.
