Abstract
AbstractA detailed model for emulsion polymerization is compared with extensive data from continuous stirred tank reactors. Model predictions are compared with both steady‐state and dynamic data, for polymerization of styrene, methyl methacrylate, and vinyl acetate. Good agreement between model and experiment is achieved with one set of parameters and without any data fitting. The results show that the model is capable of predicting all of the experimentally observed phenomena including steady‐state multiplicity, sustained oscillations, ignition and extinction dynamics, and overshoot during start‐up.
