Abstract

Crosslinking radical polymerisation in a continuously stirred tank reactor has been studied by means of a four-dimensional population balance model accounting for chain length, free pending double bonds, crosslinks, and multiradicals as dimensions. The model covers both pre-gel and gel regimes in a straightforward manner. Approximations on radial basis functions have been employed to reduce the size of the system with minimal information loss. The comparison with Monte Carlo simulations shows interesting and unexpected features.
