Notes:
A mathematical model has been developed to predict the variations in temperature, velocity, and composition which occur during anionic polymerization in laminar flow in a tubular reactor. It is found that very large radial gradients in all three are to be expected when a solution containing only solvent and monomer is polymerized. Recycle of part of the product or prepolymerization in stirred-tank reactors may be used to reduce greatly the distortion of the radial profiles.
