Abstract
A detailed dynamic mathematical model that describes the evolution of particle size distributions (PSD) during emulsion copolymerization reactions in a continous loop reactor is developed and compared with experimental data. The model is based on the assumption that two distinct particle populations exist: precusor particles and stable latex particles. Precursor particles are colloidally unstable and therefore may undergo coagulation with other precursors and be absorbed by stable latex particles. It is shown that the kinetic model is able to reproduce the rather complex dynamic behavior of the vinyl acetate/Veova 10 emulsion copolymerization in a continuous loop reactor.
