Modeling and Simulation of Polymer Reaction Engineering: A Modular Approach

Introducing a unique, modular approach to modeling polymerization reactions, this practical book presents examples that are readily applicable in Predici®, C++, MatLab and others. In addition, numerous real–life problems taken from various reactor types and reaction mechanisms allow readers to quickly find their own point of interest. A highly useful information source for polymer engineers and researchers in industry and academia. INDICE: Preface. . INTRODUCTION. Special Features of Polymers.
