Model Based Design of Polymer Product

چکیده
This paper describes a methodology for the design of free-radical polymer products based on discontinuous operation. This design problem is characterized by considerable complexity, high dimensionality, nonlinear behavior of the physical models, and multi-objective nature. To avoid most of these limitations, a two-step methodology is introduced, where the problem is initially reformulated in terms of some of the decision variables used. In the second phase, the determination of the remaining complicating variables is completed, from the solution obtained during the previous step. The capability of manufacturing innovative products with improved properties is demonstrated with the batch suspension polymerization of vinyl chloride to produce polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is one of the currently most widely used thermoplastics.
