Industrial process control and simulation

From the earlier days, some of the objective (the major objective ) of making theories of particle nucleation and growth was to use these for process development, prediction and finally process control. With the advent of modern digital computer technology, modelling 

In this chapter, the basics of free radical polymerisation are described in a concise way with an emphasis on development of molecular mass and rate of polymerisation. For a more extensive discussion of all aspects of free radical polymerisation and controlled radical polymerisation, the reader can resort to two excellent books Moad and Solomon (1995) and Matyjaszewski and Davis (2002). 

Some important new insights in transfer to polymer reactions are included in this chapter because of relevance to emulsion polymerisation.
