Abstract:
Summary : A new lumping‐based approach for calculating the molecular weight distribution (MWD) in polymerization systems is proposed. In order to illustrate its applicability the proposed methodology is used for modelling the kinetics of a 1,3‐diene polymerization using a binary neodymium‐based catalytic system. The model is capable of reproducing experimental data after fitting for the evolution of molecular weight and pol y dispersity. The results of this preliminary simulation are used as a guide to design kinetics experiments that may lead to improve the kinetic model and to deepen the knowledge of the system under study.
