The molecular weight distribution (MWD) of linear polymers was controlled based on on-line reaction calorimetry. A method to estimate the MWD from reaction calorimetry when chain transfer to a chain-transfer agent is the ...

A mathematical model for the controlled degradation of polypropylene is presented in this article. A previous model of this process was extended to predict the whole molecular weight distribution of the modified resin. ...

This study explores the molecular structuring of salmon gelatin (SG) with controlled molecular weight produced from salmon skin, and its relationship with its thermal and rheological properties. SG was produced under di ...

An optimization model is presented to determine optimal operating policies for tailoring high density polyethylene in a continuous polymerization process. Shaping the whole molecular weight distribution (MWD) by adopting ...

The effect of chitosan was evaluated in three isolates of Rhizopus stolonifer from infected tomatoes that were harvested in different regions of the state of Morelos, México. Changes in the membrane integrity of spores, ...

This paper presents a mathematical model to describe the evolution of the molecular weight distribution (MWD) in vinyl chloride (VCM) free-radical suspension polymerizations performed with a bifunctional initiator, ...

The ultimate aim of polymerization reaction engineering is the production of polymers with tailor-made properties. An introductory review into this field is presented, with emphasis on the effects on the molar mass ...
