The characteristics of coalescence and breakage of droplets and the gel effect are analyzed in particular. Parameters of the models are estimated by experimental data on reaction conversion and particle size distribution. The results show that the model is suitable for predicting polymerization processes.展开更多

The binary parameters involved in the equation were optimized using experimental data. Phase diagrams and the distribution coefficients of styrene between polymer phase and fluid phase are obtained over a wide range of pressure, temperature and composition. The analysis of ter-nary phase diagrams indicates that this system at relatively high pressure or low temperature may display two-phase equilibrium, and at low pressures or high temperatures three-phase equilibrium may appear. The distribution coefficients of styrene between the fluid phase and the polymer phase increase asymptotically to unity when the concentration of styrene increases. The results provide thermodynamic knowledge for further exploitation of supercritical carbon dioxide assisted devolatilization and impregnation.展开更多

The internal pressures of components and mixture are expressed by Frank's relation and the excess entropy for mixing of components is also considered. A new activity coefficient equation, which can be satisfactorily applied to polymer solutions, is obtained. The calculated results for the VLE of 179 polymer solutions show that the accuracy of fit is evidently superior to UNIQUAC equation.展开更多

The presented macro-equations were deduced from the kinetic micro-equations by the statistics method. And the constitutive equations were verified by experimental data at different reaction times and temperatures (95°C, 60°C and 39°C), taking diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) /ethyleneamine (EA) as a model.展开更多
文摘On the basis of population balance a mathematical model is developed to describe the formation of polymer particle in styrene suspension polymerization. The characteristics of coalescence and breakage of droplets and the gel effect are analyzed in particular. Parameters of the models are estimated by experimental data on reaction conversion and particle size distribution. The results show that the model is suitable for predicting polymerization processes.
