Condensation Polymerization. As shown previously, condensation polymerization is characterized by polymer chains that combine both with each other and with monomer units to give larger chains capable of further reaction (Table VI). Like stepwise addition without termination,... 

Tubular Reactors. The simplest model of a tubular reactor, the plug-flow reactor at steady state is kinetically identical to a batch reactor. The time variable in the batch reactor is transformed into the distance variable by the velocity. An axial temperature gradient can be imposed on the tubular reactor as indicated by Gilles and Schuchmann (22) to obtain the same effects as a temperature program with time in a batch reactor. Even recycle with a plug flow reactor, treated by Kilkson (35) for stepwise addition without termination and condensation, could be duplicated in a batch reactor with holdback between batches.
