Numerical study of polymerization processes on various catalytic systems

Abstract

© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. A set of algorithms for determining the averaged molecular characteristics of the polymer and finding the optimal initial concentrations was built on the basis of the mathematical software for solving rigid and non-rigid systems of ordinary differential equations describing various polymerization processes. With the help of the developed mathematical and software computational experiments were carried out for various technological parameters and production recipes for the considered processes. The dependencies of the molecular mass characteristics of the copolymer on the time of polymerization or conversion of monomers were built, which showed agreement with the data obtained as a result of experiments in the central factory laboratory of Synthez-Kauchuk OJSC (Sterlitamak, Republic of Bashkortostan) and the laboratory of physico-chemical studies of polymers of BashSU.
