Abstract
AbstractThe RAFT radical polymerization of vinyl monomers in supercritical carbon dioxide was modeled using the Predici® simulation package. The sensitivity of polymerization responses on formulation and process variables was analyzed. The simulations were carried out using kinetic and physical parameters corresponding to the polymerization of methyl methacrylate in supercritical carbon dioxide, using AIBN as initiator, at 65 °C and 200 bar, and using values of the addition and fragmentation kinetic rate constants of a “typical” RAFT agent, as reference conditions. This is the first report in the literature addressing the modeling or simulation of RAFT polymerization in supercritical carbon dioxide.magnified image
