Mathematical model thermal polymerization process

Certain required product properties can not be mathematically modeled, for example, discolorations due to thermal loading, olfactory properties of fragrances, taste of flavors, complex product properties in subsequent processing steps, for example, polymerization properties and the strength and spinnability of synthetic fibers. 

To ensure a certain quality of products is a more difficult task for polymerization processes than for conventional reactions involving small molecules, as molecular and morphological properties of a polymer product strongly influence its physical, chemical, thermal, rheological, and mechanical properties, as well as the end use applications of the polymer. From this point of view, the development of mathematical models to predict the polymer quality in terms of operating conditions in the polymerization reactor is usually the key to an efficient and high quality production and to the improvement of system exploitation [1].
