Project description
A generic, fast and reliable kinetic modeling platform is developed, allowing the design of chain and step growth polymerization processes over the complete range of industrially relevant chain lengths.
Current experimental and modeling techniques fail in this respect, in particular for more complex polymerization processes. The model will be uniquely applied for both polymer reaction engineering and polymer processing applications.
