the data on the effect of ethylene concentration on polymerization rate for several modifications of modern highly active titanium–magnesium catalysts ticl4/mgcl2 are presented. these catalysts differ in titanium content and conditions of support preparation, activities, and the shape of kinetic curves. it is found that the observed order of polymerization rate with respect to ethylene in the r...

the molecular weight distribution of 4 commercial isotactic polypropylene (ipp) samples was estimated using rheological data. the dynamic moduli data, obtained from rheological measurements in linear viscoelastic region was used for calculation of relaxation time spectrum, h(τ) and then shear relaxation modulus, g(t). finally, applying thimm kernel function and relaxation modulus data in genera...

styrene polymerization through frp and atrp methods was carried out at 110oc, while in-depth studies were performed by monte carlo simulation.the changes in monomer conversion, initiator concentration, average molecular weight, and polydispersity index were computed over the course of the polymerization. as the results indicate, compared to atrp, the frp reaches higher conversion in a similar r...

atom transfer radical polymerization (atrp) of styrene was carried out at 105°c and a monte carlo simulation was employed to model the system. the variations of monomer conversion, the initiator concentration, average molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution were evaluated as the reaction proceeded. according to the results obtained, for similar reaction time, monomer conversion is h...
