Notizen:
The vinyl acetate polymerization system was investigated with respect to the breadth of the molecular weight distribution (MWD) in batch, continuous segregated, and continuous micromixed reactors. Models were developed employing a complex kinetic scheme including polymer transfer and terminal double bond polymerization, without neglecting initiation and termination steps. Inclusion of a gel effect for terminal double bond polymerization gave better agreement with experimental molecular weight data in suspension polymerization. Simulation results showed the MWD order in the three reactor types is not fixed, but a function of reactant concentrations and the importance of chain branching. In some cases changing the initiator type and concentration will change the MWD order.
